I was born in England, raised in France
They’d send the coathanger, wouldn’t send the pants
Tell me how long must I wait
Or can I get you now, or must I hesitate?
I was raised in Alabama, born in Tennessee
If don’t you like my peaches, don’t you shake my tree
Tell me how long must I wait
Or can I get you now, or must I hesitate?
If the river was whiskey and I was a duck
I’d dive to the bottom, boys, I’d never come up
Tell me how long must I wait
Or can I get you now, or must I hesitate?
Well looked down the road, as far as I could see
Got no woman, boys, the blues got me
Tell me how long must I wait
Or can I get you now, or must I hesitate?
If the river was whiskey and the branches were wine
You could see me at the river most any old time
Tell me how long must I wait
Or can I get you now, or must I hesitate?
