I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues

VERSE

I don't care who
Knows I am blue.
My song wouldn't take long
To give my heart away.
I know it's plain
My heart's in pain,
My song
Couldn't belong
To someone feeling gay.

REFRAIN

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 calling me.
It must be love, say what you choose,
I gotta right to sing the blues.
