Hesitation Blues 02:47
lyrics
Woke up this morning Looking for my shoes Look behind the trunk Found the hesitation blues Lordy tell me how long, Lordy tell me how long Will I have to wait, Will I have to wait Can I get you now, Can I get you now Must I hesitate Well I’m going to the river Take a rocking chair If the blues overtake me Rock-a-way from here Lordy tell me how long, Lordy tell me how long Will I have to wait, Will I have to wait Can I get you now, Can I get you now Must I hesitate Well going up the mountain Peep through a hole Saw your little monkey Doing the sweet jellyroll Lordy tell me how long, Lordy tell me how long Will I have to wait, Will I have to wait Can I get you now, Can I get you now Must I hesitate Well I’m going to the river Gonna sit right down If the blues overtake me I’ll jump in and drown Lordy tell me how long, Lordy tell me how long Will I have to wait, Will I have to wait Can I get you now, Can I get you now Must I hesitate

lyrics
Well I ain't gonna give nobody none of my jellyroll I wouldn't give you a bite of this cake To save my soul My Momma told me today Before she went away If I'd be a good boy, she'd buy me a toy I'm my Mama's baby boy It ain't no use for your kids to keep on hangin' round I love you and I hate to turn you down Now this jellyroll is sweet And it’s mighty hard to beat Well I know you want it But you ain't gonna get it Cause I ain't gonna give you none

lyrics
I know a gal that’s awful sweet I’m tellin' you she can't be beat Oh you pretty woman With lots of this and plenty of that And a motorcar and a ten-room flat Oh you pretty woman She’s lookin' for a sweetie And I think she picked on me I tried my best to get away but she wouldn't let me be And this gal you must hear more about I’m gonna stand right up and shout Oh you pretty woman I only held her hand but once And I was weak for months and months Oh you pretty woman One time she sat up on my lap And I just had to yell ker pow Oh you pretty woman She locked me in her boudoir And started straight for me But I just fought and kicked and screamed 'Til she let me be We won't be married 'til the spring But mother's told me everything Oh you pretty woman Now you should see just how she's built One look at her and boy you'll wilt Oh you pretty woman With lots of these and plenty of those And boy oh boy those sweaty clothes Oh you pretty woman I never kiss her more than once Unless she just demands it And when she holds me close so dear I like it but I can't stand it She took me ridin' in her coup She made my heart go boop boopy doop Oh you pretty woman
