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 gal in this old town Keeps draggin' my poor (Old) 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 callin' me It must be love, say what you choose I gotta right to sing the blues
