Hesitating Blues

Hesitating Blues - Eartha Kitt

Hello Central

What's the matter with this line

I wanna talk to that sweet man of mine

Tell me how long will I have to wait

Please give me two nine eight

Why do you hesitate

What do you say can't talk to my man

A storm last night blowed the wire all down

Tell me how long will I have to wait

Will he come back now or will he hesitate

Procrastination is the thief of time

So all the wise owls say

One stitch in time may save nine

Tomorrow's not today

And if you put off someone's bound to

Sunday night my beau proposed to me

Said he'd be happy if his wife I'd be

Oh how long will I have to wait

Come be my wife my Kate

Why do you hesitate

Well I declined him just for a stall

He left that night on the Cannonball

Oh how long will I have to wait

Will he come back now or will he hesitate

I'd be his

He'd be mine and I'd be feelin' gay

Left alone grieve and pine

My best friend's gone away

He's gone and left me the hesitating blues

The hesitating blues those hesitating blues
