Hesitation Blues

Hesitation Blues - Ralph McTell

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
