Hesitating Blues Louis Armstrong

[Verse 1: Louis Armstrong, Velma Middleton]
Hello central, what's the matter with this line?
I wanna talk to that high brown of mine
Tell me how long will I have to wait
Won't be that long
Please give me two ninety eight, why do you hesitate?
Good number for tomorrow, Velma (laughs)

[Verse 2: Louis Armstrong]
Oh, what you say, can't talk to my brown?
A storm last night blowed the wires all down
Now, tell me how long will I have to wait
Come on in this house, gal
Oh, won't you tell me now, why do you hesitate?
Come on in there Velma, come on in there

[Verse 3: Velma Middleton]
Say, Sunday night, my beau proposed to me
Said he'd be happy if his wife I'd be
Said he, "How long, baby, will I have to wait?
"Come be my wife, my Kate, why do you hesitate?"

[Verse 4: Velma Middleton, Louis Armstrong]
Say, I declined him, it was just for a stall
He left that night on the cannonball
Honey, oh honey, how long, will I have to wait?
I don't know 'bout you, baby
But I'm ready now and I ain't hesitatin' either (laughs)
Oh, won't you tell me now, baby, why do you hesitate?
