I gotta right to sing the blues

I gotta right to feel low-down

I gotta right to hang around

Down

around the river

A certain gal in this old town

Keeps draggin' my poor (old) heart around

All I see,

for me is - misery

I gotta right to sing the blues

I gotta right to moan and sigh

I gotta right to

sit and cry

Down around the river

I know the deep blue sea

Will soon be callin' me

It must be love -

say what you choose

I gotta right to sing the blues
