I know the deep blue sea will soon be calling me
It must be love, say what you choose
I got a right to sing the blues
I got a right to feel low down
I got a right to hang around down around the river
A certain gal in this old town
Keeps dragging my poor heart around
All I see for me is misery

I got a right to sing the blues
I got a right to moan and sigh
I got a right to sit and cry down around the river
I know the deep blue sea will soon be calling me
It must be love, say what you choose
I got a right to sing the blues

Yes, I know that the deep blue sea will be calling on little old me
It must be love, say what you choose
I've got a right to sing the bluеs
I've got a right to sing the blues
