From Martin Elliott’s book THE ROLLING STONES COMPLETE RECORDING SESSIONS 1962-2012:
This song, made popular by Chuck Willis in ther late ’50s, was also covered by Carl Perkins and The Animals. It’s played with some irony as Keith awaitd his fate. An electric organ accompanies Mick Jagger’s plaintiff lyrics and a stinging guitar on this slow cruiser.
