"Hello Central, what's the matter with your line? I want to talk to that high brown of mine" Tell me how long will I have to wait Can I get you now, or must I hesitate? I'm going to the river with a rope and a rock And the way you grieve me, I'm gonna jump over the dock Tell me how long will I have to wait Uh, can I get you now, or must I hesitate? I got somethin' to tell you, and I know it ain't good news 'Cause a hesitatin' woman give me the hesitation blues Tell me how long will I have to wait Can I get you now, or must I hesitate? I'm go and tell the Sergeant and see the Chief Police 'Cause the women 'round here won't let me see no peace Tell me how long will I have to wait Uh, can I get you now, or must I hesitate? I've got a girl in Memphis is all right But the girl in Cincinnati is just too tight Baby, how long will I have to wait Can I get you now, or must I hesitate? I got a girl in Cairo, loves me, I know But the girl in Louisville is got the best gold Tell me how long will I have to wait Uh, can I get you now, or must I hesitate? My Mother says I'm wicked, Daddy says I'm wild I know I ain't good-lookin' but some woman's angel child Tell me how long will I have to wait Can I get you now, or must I hesitate I've sang you these verses and it didn't take long If you want to hear any more, you'll have to buy this song Tell me how long will I have to wait Can I get you now, or must I hesitate
