Lyrics Hesitation Blues - Janis Joplin

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 ...
