I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues Lyrics

I don′t care who knows I am blue
My song wouldn't take long to give my heart away
I know it′s plain my heart's in pain
My song couldn't belong to someone feeling gay

I′ve got a right to sing the blues
I′ve got a right to feel low down
I've got a right to hang around
Down around the river

A certain man in this old town
Keeps dragging my poor heart around
All I see before me is misery

I′ve got a right to sing the blues
I've got a right to moan and cry
I′ve got a right to sit and sigh
Down around the river

I know the deep blue sea
Will soon be calling me

I've got a right to say what to choose
I′ve got a right to sing the blues
Yes, I've got a right, a woman's right
I′ve got a right to sing the blues
