I gotta right to sing the blues I gotta right to feel low-down I gotta right to hang around Down around the riverA certain gal in this old town Keeps draggin' my poor (old) heart around All I see for me is miseryI gotta right to sing the blues I gotta right to moan and sigh I gotta right to sit and cry Down around the riverI 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
