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 man in this old town, Keeps dragging my poor 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 calling me It must be love, say what you choose I gotta right to sing the blues I gotta right to sing the blues, I gotta right to moan and sigh I got a right to sit and cry, down around the river I know the deep blue sea, will soon be calling me It must be love, say what you choose I gotta right to sing the blues I gotta right, I gotta right to sing the blues
