I Gotta Right To Sing The Blues

(album: For The First Time - 1968)

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 man in this old town,
Keeps dragging 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 calling me
It must be love, say what you choose
I gotta right to sing the blues

I gotta right to sing the blues,
I gotta 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 calling me
It must be love, say what you choose
I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right, I gotta right to sing the blues
