I don't care who knows I am blue
My song wouldn't take long to give my heart away
I know, it's plain, my heart's in pain
My song couldn't belong to someone feeling gay

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 cry
I gotta right to sit and sigh
Down around the river

I know that deep blue sea
Will soon be callin' me
I gotta right , say what you choose
I gotta right to sing the blues
Yes, I gotta right , a woman's right
I gotta right to sing the blues
