Julie London -
'I Gotta a 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 man 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
