Schwa Lyrics

Hesitation Blues

Lyricist: Jorma Kaukenon
Vocalist: Steve Sweney

I'm standing on the corner with a dollar in my hand 
Looking for a woman who is looking for a man 

CHORUS

Tell me, how long, do I have to wait 
Can I get you now, or must I hesitate 

Nickel is a nickel, a dime is a dime 
Got a house full of children, not one of them's mine 

Eagle on the dollar says In God We Trust 
If you want a good girl gotta see that dollar first 

If the river was whiskey and I was a duck 
I'd swim to the bottom and never come up 

I was born in London, I was raised in France 
I'm a dirty old daddy and I wear silk pants 

Put on my hesitation stockings and my hesitation shoes 
Long as I got them Hesitation Blues 

I don't know, but I've been told 
Saint Peter taught the angels how to jelly roll
