Song lyrics downloaded from: https://www.albumsongandlyrics.com ------------------------------------------ Janis Joplin - Hesitation Blues (Previously Unissued) ------------------------------------------ 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!
