Hesitation Blues

[Verse 1] Woke up this morning looking for my shoes Looked behind the trunk, found the hesitation blues [Refrain] Lordy, tell me how long (Lordy, tell me how long) Will I have to wait? (Will I have to wait?) Can I get to you now? (Can I get to you now?) Must I hesitate? [Verse 2] Well, I'm going to the river, take a rocking chair If blues overtake me, rock away from here [Refrain] Lordy, tell me how long (Lordy, tell me how long) Will I have to wait? (Will I have to wait?) Can I get to you now? (Can I get to you now?) Must I hesitate? [Verse 3] Well, I'm going up the mountain, peep through a hole Saw your little monkey doing the sweet jelly roll [Refrain] Lordy, tell me how long (Lordy, tell me how long) Will I have to wait? (Will I have to wait?) Can I get to you now? (Can I get to you now?) Must I hesitate? [Verse 4] Well, I'm going to the river, gonna sit right down If the blues overtake me, I'll jump in and drown [Refrain] Lordy, tell me how long (Lordy, tell me how long) Will I have to wait? (Will I have to wait?) Can I get to you now? (Can I get to you now?) Must I hesitate?
