If The River Was Whiskey

If the river was whiskey and I was a duck

I'd dive to the bottom and I'd never come up

Oh tell me how long have I got to wait

Oh can I get you now must I hesitate

If the river was whiskey and the branch was wine

You would see me in bathing just any old time

Oh tell me how long have I got to wait

Oh can I get you now must I hesitate

I was born in England raised in France

I ordered a suit of clothes

And they wouldn't send the pants

Tell me how long have I got to wait

Oh can I get you now must I hesitate

I was born in Alabama

I was raised in Tennessee

If you don't like my peaches

Don't shake on my tree

Oh tell me how long have I got to wait

Oh can I get you now must I hesitate

I looked down the road

Just as far as I could see

A man had my woman and the blues had me

Tell me how long have I got to wait

Oh can I get you now must I hesitate

I ain't no doctor but the doctor's son

I can do the doct'rin' till the doctor comes

Oh tell me how long have I got to wait

Oh can I get you now must I hesitate

Got the hesitation stockings

The hesitation shoes

Believe to my Lord I've got the hesitation blues

Oh tell me how long have I got to wait

Oh can I get you now must I hesitate
