I don't
Care who
Knows I
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 [bad word] 

I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to feel low-down
I gotta right to hang around
Down around the river

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 
woman's right
I gotta right to sing the blues
