I got my hesitation stockings, my Hesitation Shoes
God Almighty got the Hesitation Blues
Oh tell me how long (how long) must I wait
Oh can I get you now, oh no, must I hesitate?

A nickle is a nickle, and a dime is a dime,
I got a house full of kids, one of them must be mine.
Oh how long, must I have to wait?
Can I get you now, oh no, must I hesitate.

Standing on the corner with a dollar in my hand,
I’m looking for a woman who’s looking for a man,
Oh tell me how long (how long) must I wait
Oh can I get you now, or must I hesitate?

Never been to heaven, but I’ve been told,
Old Saint Peter knows how to jelly roll,
How long, must I have to wait?
Can I get you now, oh no, must I hesitate.

Hesitation, got my hesitation,
Lord almighty got my hesitation.
How long, must I have to. ..
Can I. .. , oh no, must I hesitate.

Standing on the corner with a dollar in my hand,
Looking for a woman who’s looking for a man
How long, Good God must I wait?
Can I get you now, oh no, must I hesitate.
