Hesitation Blues

(album: Stealin' Back - 1990)

Got my hesitation stockings, hesitation shoes
Lord almighty got them hesitation blues
And tell me how long, oh, must I have to wait?
Can I get you now, oh no, must I hesitate

A nickle is a nickle, and a dime is a dime
I got a house full of kids, one of them must be mine
Oh how long, must I have to wait?
Can I get you now, oh no, must I hesitate

And I'm standing on the corner with a dollar in my hand
Looking for a woman who's looking for a man
How long, Good God must I wait?
Can I get you now, oh no, must I hesitate

Never been to heaven, but I've been told
Old Saint Peter knows how to jelly-roll
How long, must I have to wait?
Can I get you now, oh no, must I hesitate

Hesitation, got my hesitation
Lord almighty got my hesitation
How long, must I have to...
Can I... oh no, must I hesitate

Standing on the corner with a dollar in my hand
Looking for a woman who's looking for a man
How long, Good God must I wait?
Can I get you now, oh no, must I hesitate

Hesitation blues...
