_ _ [Eb] _ If the river was whiskey and I was a duck I'd dive to the bottom and I'd [Ab] never come up
Oh tell me how long have I [Eb] got to wait?
[Bb] Oh can I get you now?
Must I [Eb] head or take?
_ If the river was whiskey and the branch was vine
You could see me invading just any old [Ab] time
Oh tell me how long have I [Eb] got to wait?
Oh can I [Bb] get you now?
Must [C] I head or take?

_ [Eb] I was born in England and raised in France
On a city called England they wouldn't send a [Ab] fancy
Tell me how long have I got [Eb] to wait?
_ [Bb] Oh can I get you now?
Must I head or take?
_ [Eb] _ I was born in Alabama and raised in Tennessee
You don't like my peaches don't shake em I [Ab] tell you
Oh tell me how long have [Eb] I got to wait?
Oh [Bb] can I get you now?
Must I head or take?

_ _ _ [Eb] _ I looked down the road just as far as I could see
A Manhattan woman and a blues [Ab] hand and knee
Tell me how long have [Eb] I got to wait?
Oh [Bb] can I get you now?
Must I [Eb] head or take?
_ _ I ain't no doctor but the doctor's son
I can do the doctor until the doctor [Ab] comes
Oh tell me how long have I [Eb] got to wait?
[Bb] Oh can I get you now?
[Eb] Must I head or take? _ _ _ _

_ _ [C] _ _ [Eb] _ Got the head of tainted stock and the head of tainted shoes
To be my lord I got the head of tainted [Ab] blues
Tell me how long have I got to [Eb] wait?
_ [Bb] Oh can I get you now?
Must I [Eb] head or take? _ _ _ _
