I've got a right to sing the blues, got the right to moan and sigh I've got a right to sit and cry down along the river A certain girl in this old town keeps dragging my heart around All I see for me is misery I've got the right to sing the blues got the right to moan and cry I've got a right to sit and cry down along the river Call it love say what you choose I've got a right to sing the blues I've got a right, got a right, got a right to sing the blues got the right to moan and sigh got a right to sit and cry down along the river Soon that deep blue sea is gonna be calling me Call it love, say what you choose I've got a right to sing the blues the blues, the blues, the blues I've got a right to sing the blues
