I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues

It must be love, say what you choose
I gotta right to moan and cry
I gotta right to sing the blues
Will soon be callin’ me

I know the deep blue sea
Keeps draggin’ my heart around

I gotta right to sit and cry
I gotta right to sing the blues
Uh, that deep blue sea
Is misery
I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to sing the blues

Gotta right to sit and cry
All I see for me
I gotta right to moan and sigh
Down along the river
I know the deep blue sea
A certain woman in this town

Down along the river
I know the deep blue sea
Callin' me
It must be love, say what you choose
Down along the river

I gotta right to swing the blues
I gotta right to sing the blues

I gotta right to hang around
Keeps draggin’ my poor heart around
Is misery
I gotta right to hang around
A certain man on this town
And all I see for me
I gotta right to feel low down

I gotta right to moan and sigh
I gotta right to sing the blues
Will soon be callin’ me
It must be love, say what you choose
Down along the river, the river, the river
I gotta right to sing the blues
Down along the river
It must be love, say what you choose
Will soon be callin' me
We gotta right to sing the blues, the blues
