Terry Allan Hall Lyr/Chords Req: Hesitation Blues (6) Lyr Add: HESITATION BLUES (Sam Collins) 30 Jan 00


Here's ONE version (there are many, BTW)....this one by Blind Sam Collins....I've "censored" it slightly...

Standing on the corner, with a dollar in my hand
Lookin' for that woman who be lookin' for a man
Tell me, how long do I hafta wait?
Can I get some now, or must I hesitate

The Eagle on the dollar says you know in God we trust
But when that woman is available, she wants to see that dollar first
Tell, me how long...

If the ocean was whiskey and I was a duck
Believe I'd dive for the bottom, but would I ever come up?
Tell me, how long...

Well, p---- ain't nothin' but the meat on the bone
You can eat it, you can f--- it or just leave it alone
Tell me, how long...

I hesitate by one, and I hesitate by two
Wonder if angels up in heaven gets the Hesitation blues?
Tell me how long, do I have to wait?
Can I get some now, or must I hesitate?
Said, can I get some now, or must I masturbate?

Ya oughtta hear the flip side, "Copulating Blues"! ...Blind Sam Collins was definitely considered "party music"!
