HESITATION BLUES
As recorded by Hot Tuna on "Hot Tuna" (1970)Well, a nickel is a nickel, say, dime is a dime,
Need a new gal; she won't mind.CHORUS: Tell me, how long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, said, must I hesitate?Eagle on the dollar says: "In God We Trust."
You say you want a man, you want to see that dollar first.Well, if the river was whiskey, said, I was a duck,
You know, I'd swim to the bottom, might never come up.Well, rocks in the ocean, said, fish in the sea,
Knows you mean the world to meWell, hesitation stockin's, got the hesitation shoes,
You know, Lord, I got them hesitation blues.
