Lena Horne Hesitating Blues Lyrics

Hello Central, what's the matter with this line?
I wanna talk to that sweet man o' mine!
Tell me how long will I have to wait?
Please give me two nine eight,
Why do you hesitate?

What d'ya say, can I talk to my brown?
A storm last night blowed the wires all down!
Tell me how long will I have to wait?
Oh, won't you tell me now,,
Why do you hesitate?

Sunday night, my beau proposed to me,
Said he'd be happy if his wifey I'd be! City, how long will I have to wait?
Come be my wife, my Kate!
Why do you hesitate?

I said no, oh evil me!
He left last night on the Santa Fe.
Honey, how long will he make me wait?
Oh, won't you tell me now,
Why does he hesitate?

If my man would come home to me,
I'd be sweet as any kitty-kitty could be!
Tell me, how long will he make me wait?
come home to me baby,
Why do you hesitate?
