Lyrics Hesitation Blues - Ralph McTell

Hesitation Blues

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
Hesitation Blues
