Hestitaion shoes, hesitation stockins
Hesitation woman do some hesitation rockin

I woke up this mornin about half past four
Hesistation Blues knockin on my door...

Standin on the corner with a dollar in my hand
Lookin for a woman who didn't have no man

I was out on my wagon, trying to sell coal
My woman's round the corner tryin to sell some jellyroll

Look down the road just as far as I could see
A man had my woman and the blues had me

I ain't no preacher and I ain't no preacher's son
I can preach a few sermons, till the real preacher come...

I ain't no doctor and no doctor's son
But I can play the doctor till the real doctor come...

I never bin to heaven but I bin told
St Peter taught the angels how to do the jellyroll

A nickle's worth a little, a dime's worth a lot
I'd like to buy you something but the time's too hard

I was born in Pennsylvania, raised in Tenesee
If you don't like my peaches stop shakin my tree

If the river was whiskey and the branch was wine
you'd see me in bathing just any ole time

I was born in England, raised in France
I'm a dirty old man and I wear silk pants
