I gotta right to sing the blues

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
