If The River Was Whiskey

If the river was whiskey and I was a duck
I'd dive to the bottom and I'd never come up
Oh tell me how long have I got to wait

Oh can I get you now must I hesitate

If the river was whiskey and the branch was wine
You would see me in bathing just any old time
Oh tell me how long have I got to wait

Oh can I get you now must I hesitate

I was born in England raised in France
I ordered a suit of clothes
And they wouldn't send the pants
Tell me how long have I got to wait

Oh can I get you now must I hesitate

I was born in Alabama
I was raised in Tennessee
If you don't like my peaches
Don't shake on my tree
Oh tell me how long have I got to wait

Oh can I get you now must I hesitate

I looked down the road
Just as far as I could see
A man had my woman and the blues had me
Tell me how long have I got to wait

Oh can I get you now must I hesitate

I ain't no doctor but the doctor's son
I can do the doct'rin' till the doctor comes
Oh tell me how long have I got to wait

Oh can I get you now must I hesitate

Got the hesitation stockings
The hesitation shoes
Believe to my Lord I've got the hesitation blues
Oh tell me how long have I got to wait

Oh can I get you now must I hesitate
