2:30
single, 1959
written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, 1952
This song, of course, has been covered by everyone, but I am somewhat surprised to find that it's a Leiber and Stoller number, written by two white guys and not a traditional or from the guitar of some old bluesman. Harrison's version is an unhurried shuffle with a sparse guitar solo in the center. His voice is unprepossessing and charming; he means what he says, but he isn't going wild about it. Harrison pioneered the line "They got some crazy little women there, and I'm gonna get me one," which wasn't in the original.
