Hesitation Blues

Well, a nickel is a nickel, a dime is a dime

I need a new man, lord i know i won't mind.

Tell me how long, dear, do i have to wait ?

Can i get you now, dear, must i hesitate ?

Well now, the eagle on the dollar says 'in god we trust'

You say you won't obey me, you wanna see that dollar first

How long, dear, do i have to wait ?

Can i get you now, dear, mm, must i hesitate ?

Lord, if the river was made of whiskey an' i was a duck,

I'd just swim to the bottom an' i'd never come up.

How long, dear, mm, do i have to wait ?

Why, can i get you now, dear, mm, must i hesitate ?

Now there's rocks down in the ocean and there's fish in the sea,

I know you mean the whole world to me.

How long, dear, must i have to wait ?

Can i get you now, dear, mm, must i hesitate ?

I got them hesitation stockings, i got them hesitation shoes,

Lord knows i got them hesitation blues.

Tell me, how long do i have to wait ?

Why, can i get you now, dear, mm, must i hesitate ?

Yeah!

That sounds good!

That sounds ...
