DEAD IRISH BLUES
Hesitation Blues
Lyrics
If the river was whiskey and I was a duck I'd dive to the bottom and I'd never come up, tell me how long do I have to wait? Why can't I get you now, must I hesitate?

If the river was whiskey and the branch was wine, you'd see me skinny dippin' most any old time. tell me how long do I have to wait? Why can't I get you now, must I hesitate?

I was born in Alabama, raised in Tennessee, if you don't like my peaches, don't shake my tree, tell me how long do I have to wait? Why can't I get you now, must I hesitate?

I was born in England, raised in France, all the perty French gals wanted in my pants, tell me how long do I have to wait? Why can't I get you now, must I hesitate?

I looked down the road just as far as I could see, a man had my woman and the blues had me, tell me how long do I have to wait? Why can't I get you now, must I hesitate?

I've got the hesitation socks, got the hesitation shoes, believe by God I've got the hesitation blues, tell me how long do I hvae to wait? Why can't I get you now, must I hesitate?
