Song title: Ray Charles - Chose To Sing The Blues

Edit By: 216.73.216.251

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}
