Hesitation Blues

Jelly Roll Morton

[SPOKEN: Long time people thought I wrote this tune, I used to sell 'em little bit of leaf copies for 35 cents. I kept the sheet music 'til nobody could see it]

If I was whiskey and you were a duck
I'd dive to the bottom and I'd never come up
Aw, how long do I have to wait
Can I get it now, do I have to hesitate

If I had a woman she was tall
She made me think about my parasol
How long do I have to wait
Can I get it now, do I have to hesitate

...'n old lady by the name of Jane
I hit and knocked her right off her cane
Aw, how long do I have to wait
Can I get her now, do I have to hesitate

Mama, mama, look at sis
She's out on levee doin' the double twist
Lord how long do I have to wait
Can I get you now do I have to hesitate

She says, \"Come in here you dirty little sow
You trying to be a bad girl you don't know how
How long do I have to wait
Can I get you now do I have to hesitate

She says, \"Press my bonnet, press my shawl
Do not not press my waterfall
How long do I have to wait
Yes if I get you now won't have to hesitate

There's a girl sittin' on a stump
I know, know she's on the stump
[Jus' how long do I have to wait [Laughs: couldn't say that]
Can I get you now do I have to hesitate

Tell me baby what you got on your mind
I'm eating and a drinking having a lovely time
How long... have to wait
Can I get you now do I have to hesitate

(from an Oral Interview with Alan Lomax, 1938)
