Hesitation Blues Lyrics

Well, nickel is a nickel, I said, dime is a dime
I need a new gal, she won't mind
Tell me how long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, I said, must I hesitate?
The eagle on the dollar says "In God we trust"
You say you want a man
You want to see that dollar first
Tell me how long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, I said, must I hesitate?

Well, If a river was whiskey, said, I was a duck
You know I'd swim to the bottom
Lord, and never come up
Tell me how long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, I said, must I hesitate?
Well rocks in the ocean, said, fish in the sea
knows you mean the world to me
Tell me how long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, I said, must I hesitate?
Well,
the hesitation stalker's got them heisitation shoes
You know, Lord, I got them hesitations blues
Tell me how long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, I said, must I hesitate?
Said, can I get you now, how long must I hesitate?
