I got a right to sing the blues
I got a right to feel low down
I got a right to hang around
Down around the river.
A certain man in this old town
Keeps draggin' my poor heart around
All I see for me is misery.
I got a right to sing the blues
I got a 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 callin' me.
It must be love, say what you choose,
I got a right to sing the blues.
I got a 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 got a right to sing the blues.
I'll tell the world I pay my dues
I got a right to sing the blues.
