Hesitation Blues
•

I got my hesitatin' feet, my hesitatin' shoes
I believe to my soul I got the hesitatin' blues

Tell me how long
Do I have to wait?
Or can I get you now
Or must I hesitate?

I was born in Pennsylvania, I was raised in France
I'm a dirty old man and I wear silk pants

Tell me how long
Do I have to wait?
Or can I get you now
Or must I hesitate?

I'm a jackhammer man in a jackhammer town
And I hammer on my hammer till the sun goes down

Tell me how long
Do I have to wait?
Or can I get you now
Or must I hesitate?

Ah, take it, Slim!

T for Texas, also Tennessee
If you don't like my peaches stop shakin' my tree

Tell me how long
Do I have to wait?
Or can I get you now
Or must I hesitate?

The remaining lyrics are unavailable.
This is indicative of several things:

(1) Reinterpreted traditional tunes often include variations on the original lyrics.

Here's a snippet from Wikipedia:
"Hesitation Blues" is a popular song adapted from a traditional tune. One version was published by Billy Smythe, Scott Middleton, and Art Gillham in 1915. Another was published by W.C. Handy as "Hesitating Blues", also in 1915. Because the tune is traditional, many artists have taken credit as writer, frequently adapting the lyrics of one of the two published versions. Adaptations of the lyrics vary widely, though typically the refrain is recognizably consistent. The song is a jug band standard and is also played as blues and sometimes as Western swing.

(2) It's a Randall thing.

Leave it to Randall, whose esoteric tastes confound even the internet. Bravo Randall, for mining obscura and reminding us that there are still things underground enough to evade even Google.
