Lyrics

You got a right, to do what you want
You got a right, to be who you are
It's your right, stand up and be heard
It's your right, what a beautiful word
Ain't no use complaining, everybody's singin' the blues

You got a right, to choose what you like
You got a right, if it takes all night
It's your right, to marry Billy or Sue
It's your right, I leave it all up to you
Ain't no use explaining, everybody's singin' the blues

Well, I went to the river - and jumped in
I ran into a fish, he said he didn't like to swim
I told him, you got a right, and I'll throw you a line
You can hitch a ride to Memphis, we'll be home by dinnertime

It's your right, to be happy or sad
You got a right, to cry or be glad
It's your right, to say what you please
It's your right, to get down on your knees
Ain't no use complaining, everybody's singing the blues
