Early this morning
About half past four
Blues came knocking on my door
Tell me how long, do i have to wait
Can I get you now or must I hesitate
I got my hesitating stockings
And my hesitating shoes
Believe to my soul I got the hesitation blues
Tell me how long, do I have to wait
Can I get you now or must I hesitate
A nickel is a nickel
A dime is a dime
Fourteen children round the house and none of them mine
Tell me how long, do I have to wait
Can I get you now or must I hesitate
My good gal quit me
I ain't gonna wear no black
I got something, make her come running back
Tell me how long, do I have to wait
Can I get you now or must I hesitate
Well I ain't been to heaven
But I've been told
Saint peter learnt the angels how to do the jelly roll
Tell me how long, do I have to wait
Can I get you now or must I hesitate
Standing on the corner
With a dollar in my hand
Looking for a woman
Who ain't got no man
Tell me how long, do I have to wait
Can I get you now or must I hesitate
