Charlie Poole & The North Carolina Ramblers - If The River Was Whiskey lyrics

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 I was born in England, raised in France I ordered a suit of clothes and they wouldn't send the pants I was born in Alabama, I was raised in Tennessee If you don't like my peaches, don't shake on my tree I looked down the road just as far as I could see A man had my woman and the blues had me I ain't no doctor but the doctor's son I can do the doct'rin' till the doctor comes Got the hesitation stockings, the hesitation shoes Believe to my Lord I've got the hesitation blues
