I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues

I've got a right to sing the blues

I've got a right to feel lowdown

I've got a right to hang around

Down around the delta

A certain man in this old town

Keeps draggin' my poor heart around

All I see for me is misery

I've got a right to sing the blues

I've got a right to moan and sigh

I've got a right to sit and cry

Down around the river

I know the deep blue sea

Will soon be callin' me

It must be lost, say what you choose

I've got a right to sing the blues

I've got a right to sing the blues

I've got a right to feel lowdown

Got a right to hang around

Way down around the delta

Certain man in this old town

Keeps draggin' my poor heart around

All I see for me is misery

I've got a right to sing the blues

I've got a right to moan and sigh

Got a right to sit and cry

Way down around the river

I know the deep blue sea

Will soon be callin' me

It must be lost, say what you choose

I've got a right to sing the blues
