I gotta right to sing the blues  
  Bm5-/7 A7/13     A        Bb7   Fdim    
I gotta right to feel low down  
  E7/9-   Em7    Bm5-/7   E7  
I gotta right to hang around   
 D6    F#m      B7  
Down around the river  
  Bm5-/7  E7/9    Edim     E7/9        
A certain gal in this old town  
     Bm5-/7    A7/13     Em7    A7/13 
Keeps draggin' my poor heart around  
Edim A7  D  A7  D6 Gm  Edim  Fdim D  
All  I  see for me is   misery

I gotta right to moan and sigh  
  E7/9-   E7    Bm5-/7     E7  
I gotta right to sit and cry  
D6    F#m       Cdim  B7  
Down around the river.  
  Bm5-/7    E7/9 Edim E7/9        
I know the deep blue sea   
     Bm5-/7   A7/13 Em7 A7/13  
Will soon be callin' me  
   Em7     G7/13-      Bm5-/7      A7/13  
It must be love, say what you choose  
    Edim   A7   Cdim Gdim Cdim D  
I've gotta right to  sing  the blues
