I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues

I've got a right to sing the blues
I've got a right to feel low down
And I've got a 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 low down
I've got a right to hang around
I've got a right to sit and sigh
Down by the river, oh yeah
But I know the deep blue sea
Will soon be calling me
Then you can say what you choose
I've got a right to sing the blues
