Acoustic Jam tomorrow - Help me pick some good songs
I need a few songs to bust out tomorrow so I can look good for the crowd. Anyone know any good acoustic crowd pleasers?

4. You probably wouldn't know anything I'd recommend...
And they probably wouldn't fit your style anyway. (Though you never know.)

9. Hesitation Blues
Look down the road just as far as I could see
A man had my woman and the blues had me
Tell me how long
Do I have to wait?
Oh can I get you now, or must I hesitate?

I ain't no doctor but the doctor's son
Can't do the doctor till the doctor's done
Tell me how long
Must I have to wait?
Can I get you now, or must I hesitate?

I got the hesitation stockings, the hesitation shoes
Oh my Lord I got the hesitation blues
Tell me how long
Do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, or must I hesitate?
Can I get you now, or must I hesitate?

Hot Tuna's better-known version has some different verses:
Well a nickel is a nickel, and a dime is a dime
I need a new girl, she won't mind
Tell me how long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, or must I hesitate?

Eagle on the dollar says "In God we trust"
You say you want a man, you see that dollar first
Tell me how long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, or must I hesitate?

If the river was whiskey and I was a duck
You know I'd swim to the bottom, Lord, and never come up (note 1)
Tell me how long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, or must I hesitate?

Rocks in the ocean, Lord, 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, or must I hesitate?

Got them hesitation stockings, got them hesitation shoes
Lord I got them hesitation blues
Tell me how long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, or must I hesitate?
Can I get you now, or must I hesitate?
