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 'Cause, 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 Say what you choose I got a right to sing the blues
