I got a right to sing the blues,
I got a right to feel low down,
I got a 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 got a right to sing the blues,
I got a right to moan and sigh,
I 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 love, say what you choose,
I've got a right to sing the blues.
I got a right to sing the blues,
I got a right to moan and sigh,
I 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 love, say what you choose,
I've got a right to sing the blues.
