Hesitation Blues

Woke up this morning lookin' for my shoes Looked behind the trunk, felt the hesitation blues Lordy, tell me how long will I have to wait? Can I get to you now? Must I hesitate Well, I'm goin' to the river take a rockin' chair If blues overtake me rock away from here Lordy, tell me how long will I have to wait? Can I get to you now? Must I hesitate Well, I'm goin' up the mountain, peep through a hole Saw your little monkey doin' the sweet jelly roll Lordy, tell me how long will I have to wait? Can I get to you now? Must I hesitate Well, I'm goin' to the river, gonna sit right down If the blues overtake me I'll jump in and drown Lordy, tell me how long will I have to wait? Can I get to you now? Must I hesitate --- Hesitation Blues - Dave Van Ronk and The Red Onion Jazz Band
