I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues

Bonnie Lynn Raitt (born November 8, 1949) is a renowned American blues singer-songwriter and slide guitar player. During the 1970s, Raitt released a series of acclaimed roots-influenced albums which incorporated elements of blues, rock, folk and country, but she is perhaps best known for her more commercially accessible recordings in the 1990s including "Nick of Time", "Something to Talk About", "Love Sneakin' Up on You", and the slow ballad "I Can't Make You Love Me". Raitt has received nine Grammy Awards in her career and is a lifelong political activist. more »

I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to feel low down
I gotta right to hang around
Down around the river

A certain gal in this old town
Keeps draggin' my poor heart around
All I see, for me is misery

I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to moan and sigh
I gotta right to sit and cry
Down around the river

I know the deep blue sea
Will soon be callin' me
It must be love say, what you choose

I gotta right to sing the blues

I know the deep blue sea
Will soon be callin' me
It must be love say, what you choose

I gotta right to sing the blues
