Píseň: I've Got A Right To Sing The Blues

Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
Tribute To The Lady
I've got a right to sing the blues,
 got the right to moan and sigh
 I've got a right to sit and cry
 down along the river


 A certain girl in this old town
 keeps dragging my heart around
 All I see for me is misery


 I've got the right to sing the blues
 got the right to moan and cry
 I've got a right to sit and cry
 down along the river


 Call it love say what you choose
 I've got a right to sing the blues
 I've got a right, got a right,
 got a right to sing the blues
 got the right to moan and sigh
 got a right to sit and cry
 down along the river


 Soon that deep blue sea
 is gonna be calling me
 Call it love, say what you choose
 I've got a right to sing the blues
 the blues, the blues, the blues
 I've got a right to sing the blues
