Janis Joplin Hesitation Blues song lyrics

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 ...
