Hesitation Blues

If the river was chocolate and I was a duck
I’d dive to the bottom and I’d never come up

Tell me how long have I got to wait?
Can I get you now, or must I... Hesitate?

I was born in Alabama, raised in Tennessee
If you don’t like my peaches, keep your hands off my tree

I was born in England, schooled in France
If you want to know more best ask my parents

Well, rocks in the ocean, and the fish in the sea
They all know that you mean the whole world to me

A nickle is a nickle, and a dime is a dime
I got a house full of kids, so we're never on time

I got the hesitation stockings, hesitation shoes
I really do believe I’ve got the hesitation blues
