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
