Lyrics
Well, they throweed me into jail With my back to the wall A long tounged mama was the cause of it all I'd rather sleep in the woods ina hollow log Before I lay with you and let you treat me like a dog Won't you tell me how long do I have to wait? Can I get away now or must I hesitate? She throwed my hat out the window And my clothes out the door 'Gonna get another woman I don't want her any more She spends my money 'Till the last long dime A'cussin' and a'fussin' and a'fightin' all the time Won't you tell me how long do I have to wait? Can I get away now or must I hesitate? Well I'm runnin' down the road With my hat in my hand Lookin' for a woman who's a'lookin' for a man Now I ain't the doctor Just the doctor's son But I can ease your pain until the doctor come Won't you tell me how long do I have to wait? Can I get away now or must I hesitate? Now come here, mama Pin a rose on me There's a sweet little woman that I'm a'gonna see A hesitatin' papa With the hesitating blues Found a hesitating mama that he can't afford to lose Won't you tell me how long do I have to wait? Can I get away now or must I hesitate?
