JANIS JOPLIN - Hesitation Blues LYRICS

Well, a nickel is a nickel, a dime is a dime

I need a new man, lord I know I wont mind.

Tell me how long, dear, do I have to wait ?

Can I get you now, dear, must I hesitate ?



Well now, the eagle on the dollar says "in God we trust"

You say you wont obey me, you wanna see that dollar first

How long, dear, do I have to wait ?

Can I get you now, dear, mm, must I hesitate ?



Lord, if the river was made of whiskey an I was a duck,

Id just swim to the bottom an Id never come up.

How long, dear, mm, do I have to wait ?

Why, can I get you now, dear, mm, must I hesitate ?



Now theres rocks down in the ocean and theres fish in the sea,

I know you mean the whole world to me.

How long, dear, must I have to wait ?

Can I get you now, dear, mm, must I hesitate ?



I got them hesitation stockings, I got them hesitation shoes,

Lord knows I got them hesitation blues.

Tell me, how long do I have to wait ?

Why, can I get you now, dear, mm, must I hesitate ?



Yeah!



That sounds good!



That sounds ...
