ROBERT CRAY, CHUCK BERRY, AND THE ROLLING STONES: COME ON!

Robert Cray

Yesterday as I was home in the snow storm... I spent the day hanging out with Hail Hail Rock N Roll the awesome Chuck Berry documentary. While watching I became obsessed by Robert Cray's version of Chuck Berry's "Come On". I just loved it! Couldn't buy it anywhere but it is on You Tube.

Chuck released "Come On" in March of 1961. The Rolling Stones used it as their first single in the summer of 1963. I like all three versions Robert's, Chuck's and then Stones... Take a look see what you think... Some folks wrote me to mention Joe Jackson's cover of "Come On" too. I want Robert Cray to record this song.... he tears it up!

Come On: Chuck Berry

Everything is wrong since me and my baby parted.
All day long I'm walkin' 'cause I couldn't get my car started.
Laid off from job and I can't a'ford to check it.
I wish somebody'd come along and run into it and wreck it.

Come on, since my baby parted, come on.
I can't get started, come on.
I can't a'ford to check it.
I wish somebody'd come along and run into it and wreck it.

Everything is wrong since I been without you.
Every night I lay awake thinkin' about you.
Everytime the phone rings sounds like thunder.
It's some stupid jerk tryin' to reach another number.

Come on, since I been without you, come on.
Steady thinkin' about you, come on.
Phone sounds like thunder.
It's some stupid jerk tryin' to reach another number.

Everything is wrong since I last saw you baby.
I really want to see you and I don't mean maybe.
I'm doin' everything, tryin' to make you see,
That I belong to you, honey, and you belong to me.

So come on, I wanna see you baby, come on.
Come on, I don't a-mean maybe, come on.
Come on, I'm tryin' to make you see
That I belong to you and you belong to me.
Come on.
