HESITATION BLUES

HESITATION BLUES


Well, a nickel is a nickel, a dime is a dime
I need a new man, lord I know I wont mind.
Tell me how long, dear, do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, dear, must I hesitate?

Well now, the eagle on the dollar says "in God we trust"
You say you wont obey me, you wanna see that dollar first
How long, dear, do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, dear, mm, must I hesitate?

Lord, if the river was made of whiskey an I was a duck,
Id just swim to the bottom an Id never come up.
How long, dear, mm, do I have to wait?
Why, can I get you now, dear, mm, must I hesitate?

Now theres rocks down in the ocean and theres fish in the sea,
I know you mean the whole world to me.
How long, dear, must I have to wait?
Can I get you now, dear, mm, must I hesitate?

I got them hesitation stockings, I got them hesitation shoes,
Lord knows I got them Hesitation Blues.
Tell me, how long do I have to wait?
Why, can I get you now, dear, mm, must I hesitate?

Yeah!

That sounds good!

I'LL DROWN IN MY OWN TEARS

I'LL DROWN IN MY OWN TEARS


He brings a tear into my eyes
When I begin, lord, to realize.
If you don't think that, honey, you'll be lonesome,
You know I'll drown, drown, oh lord, in my own tears.

I know it's true into his mind
A little rain is bound to fall
But since you been gone honey I'm so blue,
It just keeps rainin', keeps right on rainin' more and more.

I didn't cry just like a child,
My poor tears, lord, they were runnin' wild.
If you don't think that baby you'll be home soon now
You know I'll drown, drown, oh lord in my own tears.
