Eartha Kitt - Hesitating Blues Lyrics
(with Shorty Rogers)Hello Central, what's the matter with this line?I wanna talk to that sweet man of mineTell me how long will I have to wait?Please give me two nine eight, why do you hesitate?What do you say, can't talk to my man?A storm last night blowed the wire all downTell me how long will I have to wait?Will he come back now or will he hesitate?Procrastination is the thief of timeSo all the wise owls sayOne stitch in time may save nineTomorrow's not todayAnd if you put off, someone's bound toSunday night, my beau proposed to meSaid he'd be happy if his wife I'd beOh, how long will I have to wait?Come be my wife, my Kate, why do you hesitate?Well I declined him, just for a stallHe left that night on the CannonballOh, how long will I have to wait?Will he come back now or will he hesitate?I'd be his, he'd be mine and I'd be feelin' gayLeft alone, grieve and pine, my best friend's gone awayHe's gone and left me the hesitating bluesThe hesitating blues, those hesitating blues
