Jim Jackson Hesitation Blues Lyrics

Hello Central : what's the matter with your line
I want to talk : to that high brown of mine

I'm going to the river : with a rope and a rock
And the way you treat me : I'm going to jump over the
dock

Tell me how long : will I have to wait
Can I get you now : or must I hesitate

I'm got something to tell you : and I know it ain't
good news
Because a hesitating woman : give me the hesitation
blues

I'm going to tell the sergeant : and the see the chief
police
Because the women around here : won't let me see no peace

I've got a girl in Memphis : she's all right
But the girl in Cincinnati : is just too tight

I'm got a girl in Cairo : loves me I know
But the gal in Louisville : has got the best *clothes*

My mother says I'm wicked : daddy says I'm wild
I know I ain't good‑looking : but some woman's angel
child

I'll sing you these verses : and it didn't take long
If you want to hear any more : you'll have to buy this
song
