I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues Songtext
von Billie Holiday and Her Orchestra

I′ve got a right to sing the blues
I've got a right to moan and sigh
I′ve got a right to sit and cry
Down around the river

A certain man in this old town
Keeps dragging my poor heart around
All I see for me is misery

I've got a right to sing the blues
I've got a right to moan and sigh
Right to sit and cry
Down around the river


Soon that deep blue sea
Will be calling me
It must be love, say what you choose
I′ve got a right to sing the blues

I′ve got a right to sing the blues
I've got a right to moan and cry
Got a right to sit and sigh
Down around the river

Soon that deep blue sea
Will be calling me
It must be love, say what you choose
I′ve got a right to sing the blues

There's nothing left for me
I′m full of misery
I've got a right to sing the blues
