I don't Care who Knows I Am blue My song wouldn't take long To give my heart away
I know It's playing 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 the 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
