Songwriters: Kaukonen, Jorma; Casady, Jack;Well, nickel is a nickel, I said, dime is a dime  I need a new gal, she won't mind  Tell me how long do I have to wait  Can I get you now, I said, must I hesitate?    The eagle on the dollar says, 'In God we trust'  You say you want a man  You wanna see that dollar first  Tell me how long do I have to wait  Can I get you now, I said, must I hesitate?    Well, if the river was whiskey, said, I was a duck  You know I'd swim to the bottom, Lord  And never come up  Tell me how long    Well, rocks in the ocean, said, fish in the sea  Knows you mean the world to me  Tell me how long do I have to wait  Can I get you now, Lord, must I hesitate?    Well, the hesitation stalker's got the hesitation shoes  You know, Lord, I got them hesitation blues  Tell me how long do I have to wait?  Can I get you now, Lord, must I hesitate?    Said, can I get you now  How long must I hesitate?      © EMI BLACKWOOD MUSIC INC.;    these lyrics are last corrected by OarSmaN
