If the river was whisky and I was a duck
I'd dive to the bottom and I'd never come up
Tell me how long have I got to wait?
Can I get you now, or must I hesitate?
If the river was whisky and the branch was vine
You'd see me in bed most all of the time
Tell me how long have I got to wait?
Can I get you now, or must I hesitate?
I was born in Alabama, raised in Tennessee
You don't like my peaches, don't you shake my tree
Tell me how long have I got to wait?
Can I get you now, or must I hesitate?
Two old maids sitting in the sand
Each one a-wishing that the other was a man
Tell me how long have I got to wait?
Can I get you now, or must I hesitate?
I was born in England, schooled in France
If you want to know more best ask my parents
Tell me how long have I got to wait?
Can I get you now, or must I hesitate?
I'm standing on the corner with a dollar in my hand
Looking for a woman who's looking for a man
Tell me how long have I got to wait?
Can I get you now, or must I hesitate?
I got the hesitation stockings, hesitation shoes
I really do believe I've got the hesitation blues
Guitar chords for Hesitation Blues

Tell me how long have I got to wait?

Can I get you now, or must I hesi-tate?
