Cover art for Hesitating Beauty lyrics by Billy Bragg and Wilco

This song was probably written by Woody when he would watch the kids during the day and write songs for them. This is where many of his children's songs came from (Hoodoo Voodoo, Why oh Why, etc.). I picture him trying to cheer up his daughter, Nora Lee, by writing her this song.
