[Verse]
Woke up this morning looking for my shoes
Looked behind the trunk, felt the hesitation blues
Lordy, tell me how long will I have to wait?
Can I get to you now? Must I hesitate
Well, I'm going to the river take a rocking chair
If blues overtake me rock away from here
Lordy, tell me how long will I have to wait?
Can I get to you now? Must I hesitate
Well, I'm going up the mountain, peep through a hole
Saw your little monkey doing the sweet jelly roll
Lordy, tell me how long will I have to wait?
Can I get to you now? Must I hesitate
Well, I'm going to the river, going to sit right down
If the blues overtake me I'll jump in and drown
Lordy, tell me how long will I have to wait?
Can I get to you now? Must I hesitate
