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
Gonna 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
