If The River Was Whiskey
Charlie Poole

If the river was whiskey and I was a duck

I'd dive to the bottom and I'd never come up

Oh, tell me how long have I got to wait?

Oh, can I get you now, must I hesitate?


If the river was whiskey and the branch was wine

You would see me in bathing just any old time

Oh, tell me how long have I got to wait?

Oh, can I get you now, must I hesitate?


I was born in England, raised in France

I ordered a suit of clothes and they wouldn't send the pants

Tell me how long have I got to wait?

Oh, can I get you now, must I hesitate?


I was born in Alabama, I's raised in Tennessee

If you don't like my peaches, don't shake on my tree

Oh, tell me how long have I got to wait?

Oh, can I get you now, must I hesitate?



I looked down the road just as far as I could see

A man had my woman and the blues had me

Tell me how long have I got to wait?

Oh, can I get you now, must I hesitate?


I ain't no doctor but the doctor's son

I can do the doct'rin' till the doctor comes

Oh, tell me how long have I got to wait?

Oh, can I get you now, must I hesitate?


Got the hesitation stockings, the hesitation shoes

Believe to my Lord, I've got the hesitation blues

Tell me how long have I got to wait?

Oh, can I get you now, must I hesitate?
