Woke up this morning lookin' 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 goin' to the river take a rockin' 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 goin' up the mountain, peep through a hole Saw your little monkey doin' 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 goin' 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
