Hesitation Blues

from Growing Old In Public by June Star

subscriber exclusive

about

Asheville, North Carolina... October 19, 1925... first song I saw on the Library of Congress website...

lyrics

Now I'm no teacher nor no teacher's son,
But I can teach you how ‘til my papa comes.
So say boys, how long must I have to wait?
Can I get her now or must I hesitate?

Talk about the boll weevil flyin' up in the air,
Wherever he lights, he leaves his family there.
Oh say boys, how long must I have to wait?
Can I get her now or must I hesitate?

Workin' on the railroad, sleepin' on the ground,
Eatin' Coolidge meat skin at fifty cents a pound.
Oh say boys, how much longer must I have to wait?
Can I get her now or must I hesitate?
