i gotta right to sing the blues lyrics

I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to feel low down
I gotta right to hang around
Down along the river

A certain woman in this 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 along the river, the river, 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 swing the blues

I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to feel low down
I gotta right to hang around
Down along the river

A certain man on this town
Keeps draggin? my heart around
And all I see for me
Is misery

I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to moan and sigh
Gotta right to sit and cry
Down along 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 cry
I gotta right to sing the blues
Down along the river

I know the deep blue sea
Uh, that deep blue sea
Will soon be callin' me
Callin' me

It must be love, say what you choose
I gotta right to sing the blues
It must be love, say what you choose
We gotta right to sing the blues, the blues
Oh, gotta right to sing the blues
