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 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      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
