Lyrics for I Gotta Right To Sing The Blues

I don't care fool Knows I am blue My song wouldn't take long To give my heart a way I know it's plain My heart's in pain My song couldn't be long To someone felling gay 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 man in this old town Keeps draggin' my poor 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 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 I gotta right to sing the blues
