I’ve got a right to say the blues
I’ve got a right to feel lowdown
And I’ve got right to hang around
Down by the river
But I’ve got a gal in this old town
She keeps draggin' my poor heart around
And all I see is - misery
I’ve got a right to feel lowdown
I’ve got a right to hang around
I got a right to sit and sigh
Down by the river, oh yeah
But I know the deep blue sea
Will soon be callin' me
Then you can say what you choose
I’ve got a right to say the blues
