Lyrics The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Hesitation Blues (Oh! Baby Must I Hesitate?)

Well, if the river was whiskey and I was a duck

Fly to the bottom and I'd never come up

Oh, baby, how long have I got to wait?

Well, can I get you now or must I hesitate?

Well, I ain't no doctor but a doctor's son

I'll do the doctoring ‘til the doctor comes

Oh, baby, how long have I got to wait?

Well, can I get you now or must I hesitate?

Take all away.

I was born in England, raised in France

Got a suit of clothes but I didn't get the pants

Oh, baby, how long have I got to wait?

Well, can I get you now or must I hesitate?

I was born in Texas, raised in Tennessee

If you don't like my peaches, don't shake my tree

Oh, baby, how long have I got to wait?

Well, can I get you now or must I hesitate?
