Right To Sing The Blues (B. Kramer)

It's more than skin deep, comes from the eternal soul
I had em’ when I was very young, I'll still have em’ when I'm too old
Cut me and my blood runs red, ain’t nothing you can choose
I may be white, I have the right to sing these blues

I was drawn to Muddy Waters, when I was just a child
Lightnin Hopkins shook my hand, as he flashed me his gold tooth'd smile
Junior Wells told me make it my own, when life was “Win or Lose”
I may be white, I have the right to sing these blues

It's neither black nor white and it should be color blind
The only limitation is the one within your own mind
Just follow that blue line, it leads strait on home to you
I may be white, I have the right to sing these blues

What's the color of my skin got to do with the depths of my soul
Or the place where I was born by how far I can go
Buddy Guy looked me in the eye, you know he told me this was true
I can bend those strings and wail like a true blue Jew
I may be white, I have the right to sing these blues

I mean no disrespect I know from where it all came
I intend to keep it flowin' on, long as I carry this blue flame
Listen with your whole, whole heart, try to walk a mile in my shoes
I may be white, I have the right to sing these blues
