Ray Charles Robinson 1930-2004
I Chose to Sing the Blues
I could have been a gambler 'coz I'm good with the cards
I could have been a lover breakin' other's hearts
and I feel so silly bettin' on the dice
and a lover seldom sees the same girl twice
and that is why (that is why)
that's why I chose (that's why I chose)
I chose to sing the blues,
yes I did now,I could have been a doctor helping the sick
and I could have been a lawyer but you know that ain't my stick
'coz I feel so bad if a patient didn't do well
and I feel just as bad to leave a client in jail
and that is why (that is why)
that's why I chose (that's why I chose)
I chose to sing the bluesNow a man has a lot that he could present
just to think I could have been president
but I can't understand what politicians say
so I wanna talk to you in my own little way
and that is why (that is why)
that's why I chose (that's why I chose)
I chose to sing the blues
Yes I did, friendsDon't you know what I mean
I like what I'm doin' You know,
I like the blues
Everybody understands
What I mean when I say
Something like this here
Unnnnnnn-hoo Yeah Yeah-hoo
That's what I'm talkin' 'bout
when I sing
