I Gotta Right To Sing The Blues lyrics

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 (old) heart around

All I see, for me is - misery

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/h/harold_arlen/i_gotta_right_to_sing_the_blues.html ]
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
