• I Got A Right To Sing The Blues (Live)

I Got a Right to Sing The Blues
I Got a Right, yes I do to Sing The Blues
‘Cause I done paid, I done paid my 100% dues

Hard times warmin’ your hands with hot potatoes
Tellin’ me ‘bout swimmin’ to work
Through swamp full of Gators
You walkin’ 100 miles without shoes
To the school bus
As this jive, all this jive, I’m gonna tell ya
Some real hard stuff

Listenin’ to the step daddy drinkin’ and beatin’ my Mamma
With Child in her belly my little baby Brother
Some food stamps, shelters, runnin’ day and night
Hidin’ all the time from the sad drinkin’ monster

Welfare lady got us all new clothes
They got stolen that night from the trunk of the ‘47 Olds
Only thing made any sense in all the crazy confusion
Was Sunday ‘go to meetin’ time’
Singin’ on the church bench

A Right ta Sing The Blues
I Got a Right now ta Sing The Blues
‘Cause I done paid, I done paid my 100% due yah
I done paid, I done paid my 100% dues
Yah Mr. Slideboy

20 years of loneliness I didn’t know what to do
Way to young to know and scared to make a move
Finally ya know I walked out with shakin’ legs
Singin’ Voodoo Chile Voodoo Child all the way

Three years later by the bed of the man that I loved
As he said his last prayers to the good Lord above
You know the Angels came
They took him home that day
It hurt so bad I just can’t explain

Then it all came down and it went right through me
It ripped me right open left me raw right to my bones
And when I got up, only one thing left to do
I knew I had to sing, I had to sing my blues

I Got a Right, to Sing The Blues
I Got a Right, I Got a Right to Sing The Blues
‘Cause I done paid, I done paid my 100% dues yes
I done paid, I done paid my 100% dues
Yah to the breakdown

Right to Sing The Blues
I Got a Right, yes I do to Sing The Blues
‘Cause I done paid Child I done paid my 100% dues

Yah you know what, I know you Got A Right now
To Sing the Blues, yah ya got a Right
Ya got a Right to Sing The Blues, if you done
If you done paid your hundred, maybe 200, 500
I know it’s gonna be 1000 before I die, yes it is
Whoa it ain’t no way Child it ain’t no way
It ain’t no way you can sing the blues
If you ain’t paid ha ha, yah your 100% dues

Yah I’m gonna tell ya somethin‘
You better watch out ‘cause
The blacksmith of the blues
Is gonna come along here now
And brand your backside, haw
He gonna fire it up, hammer it out
You gonna be walkin’ around goin’ wooo
I got 100% right here
And another 100% over here… whoa

Ya Got a Right to Sing The Blues
I Got a Right now to Sing the Blues
‘Cause I done paid, I done paid my 100% dues yah
I done paid, I done paid my 100% dues
I done paid, I done paid my 100% dues, yahow
