Lyrics:
Harold Arlen / Ted Koehler I gotta right to sing the bluesI gotta right to moan insideI gotta right to sit and cryDown around the riverA certain man in this little townKeeps draggin' my poor heart aroundAll I see for me is miseryI gotta right to sing the bluesI gotta right to moan insideI gotta right to sit and cryDown around the riverA certain man in this little townSoon that deep blue seaWill be callin' meIt must be love say what you chooseI gotta right to sing the bluesI gotta right to sing the bluesI gotta right to moan and cryI gotta sit and sighDown around the riverSoon that deep blue seaWill be callin' meIt must be love say what you chooseI gotta right to sing the bluesThere's nothing left for meI'm full of miseryI gotta right to sing the blues
