Janis Joplin Hesitation Blues Lyrics

Hesitation Blues Lyrics

Well, a nickel is a nickel, a dime is a dime
I need a new man, Lord I know I won`t 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 won`t 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,
I`d just swim to the bottom an` I`d never come up.
How long, dear, mm, do I have to wait ?
Why, can I get you now, dear, mm, must I hesitate ?

Now there`s rocks down in the ocean and there`s 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 ...
