I am a Jazz/Blues lover ... so was Judy Garland. If she had her way in her early career, this is the path she would have followed from the beginning. After MGM, & so beautifully preserved in 'The Judy Garland Show', she did follow her heart to more Jazz & Blues.
Here is her first love in music ... for all to love.
Songwriters:Harold Arlen & Ted Koehler.
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 man 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 sing and cry
Down around the river
I know, I know the deep blue sea
Will soon be callin', callin' me
It must, it must be love, say what you choose
I gotta right to sing the blues
All I see, for me
All I see, for me is misery
And misery, misery
I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to moan and sigh
I gotta right to sing and sigh
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
It must be love, say what you choose
I gotta right to sing the blues
All I see, for me is nothing but plain misery
I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right, I gotta right
I gotta right, I gotta right
I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to sing the blues
