"Hesitation Blues" lyrics

Well, a nickel is a nickel, a dime is a dime
I need a new man, Lord, I know I won't mind
How long, dear, do I have to wait?
Can I get him now? Dear, must I hesitate?

Well, now, eagle on the dollar says, "In God we trust"
You say you won't obey me, you wanna see the dollar first
How long, dear, do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, dear? Must I hesitate?

Lord, if the river was made of whisky, I was a duck
I'd just swim to the bottom and I'd never come up
How long, dear, do I have to wait?
Why can't I get you now, dear? Must I hesitate?

And now there's rocks down in the ocean and there's fish in the sea
I know that you mean the whole world to me
How long, dear, must I have to wait?
Can I get you now, dear? 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't I get you now, dear? Must I hesitate?

Yeah!

That sounds good
That sounds good
