Ray Charles – I Chose To Sing The Blues Lyrics  Share

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 blues

[Sax Solo]

Now 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, friends
Don^,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
[Fade]
