[Dixielandjazz] I GOTTA RIGHT TO SING THE BLUES

[Henry B. Stinson]

I GOTTA RIGHT TO SING THE BLUES

 Harold Arlen / Ted Koehler  -- from Earl Carroll's "Vanities"

VERSE:
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.

CHORUS:
I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues,
I gotta right to feel low down,
I gotta right to hang around,
Down around the ri--ver.

A certain girl in this old town
Keeps dragging my poor heart around
All I see -- for -- me -- is -- mis--e--ry.

I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues,
I gotta right to moan and sigh,
I gotta a right to sit and cry
Down around the ri---ver.

I know the deep blue sea
Will soon be calling me.
It must be love, say what you choose,
I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues
