"I Gotta Right To Sing The Blues" lyrics

Cab Calloway And His Orchestra Lyrics

"I Gotta Right To Sing The Blues"

I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to feel lowdown
I gotta right to hang around
Way down around the river
A certain gal in this old town
Keeps draggin' my poor heart around
All I see, for misery

I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to moan and sigh
I gotta right to sit and cry
Way down around the river
I know the deep blue sea
Will soon be calling me
You can say just what you choose
Your daddy's gotta right to sing the blues

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
Blues
I gotta right to sing the blues
