I Got the Right to Sing the Blues - Billie Holiday

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 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 callin' me It must be love say, what you choose

I gotta right to sing the blues

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
