I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues

I gotta right to sing the blues
Will soon be callin’ me
I gotta right to sing the blues
Down along the river, the river, the river
I gotta right to moan and sigh
Is misery
It must be love, say what you choose
I gotta right to moan and cry
Keeps draggin’ my poor heart around

Down along the river
Will soon be callin’ me
I gotta right to sing the blues

Callin' me
I gotta right to hang around
I gotta right to feel low down
Uh, that deep blue sea

I gotta right to sit and cry
Down along the river
Will soon be callin' me
It must be love, say what you choose
A certain man on this town

Keeps draggin’ my heart around

I know the deep blue sea
I gotta right to swing the blues

I gotta right to sing the blues
Is misery
It must be love, say what you choose
We gotta right to sing the blues, the blues

I know the deep blue sea
I gotta right to moan and sigh
It must be love, say what you choose
I know the deep blue sea
I gotta right to hang around
Gotta right to sit and cry
A certain woman in this town
I gotta right to sing the blues
All I see for me
Down along the river
And all I see for me
Down along the river
I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to sing the blues
