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
