Oh Cherry, oh Cherry, oh baby
Don't you know I'm in need of thee?
If you don't believe it's true
What have you left me to do?
It's so long I've been waiting
For you to come right in
Nnow that we are together
Just let my joy run over
Oh, ee-oh, ee-oh, ee-oh, ee-oh
Oh, ee-oh, ee-oh, ee-oh, ee-oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh Cherry, oh Cherry, oh baby
Don't you know I'm in love with
you?
If you don't believe I do
Then why don't you try me?
I'm never going to let you down
Never make you wear no frown
You say you love me madly
Then why do you treat me badly?
Oh, ee-oh, ee-oh, ee-oh, ee-oh

If you don't believe I do
Then why don't you try me? Try me?

TrackTalk
(W)e did do that about twice on the tour
last year. I heard that years ago – I don't know how old it is. I think
I heard it in the south of France in 1972; I may be wrong. But we just
did it one day for a laugh and kept it on the album... Keith sings
with me on that. That's Nicky [Hopkins] on organ. All of these were
recorded before the tour, they just hadn't been mixed.
