Cherry Oh Baby Lyrics

[Chorus:]
Oh, Cherry, oh Cherry, oh baby
Don't ya know I in need of thee
You don't believe it true
Why don't you love me, too
Its so long I've been waiting
For you to come right in
Now that we are together
Is make my joy run over

Yeah [Repeat: x7]

{Chorus]
Oh Cherry, oh Cherry, oh baby
Don't ya know I in love with you
You don't believe I know
So why don't you try me
I'm never gonna let you down
Never make you wear no frown
You say you love me madly
Then why do you treat me badly

Yeah [Repeat: x7]

[Chorus]
Oh Cherry, oh Cherry, oh baby
Don't ya know I in love with you
You don't believe I know
So why don't you try me (try me)
I'm never gonna let you down no
Never make you wear no frown
You say you love me madly
Then why do you treat me badly

Yeah [Repeat: x3]

Cherry Oh Baby Song Chart

This is cover of Eric Donaldson's 1971 reggae song. The Stones recorded Goats Head Soup three years earlier in Jamaica, but this is the most they got into reggae.

This was the first time Ron Wood appeared on a Stones album. They were auditioning lead guitarists during Black And Blue, and while Wood only played on this and "Hey Negrita," he was named to the band before it was released and appeared on the cover.

The Reggae group from England UB40 also covered this. It's on their 1983 album Labour Of Love. (thanks, Christopher - Greenfield Center, NY)

Charlie Watts (from According to the Rolling Stones ): "The reggae influence on the songs on Black And Blue came primarily from Keith... Mick was certainly into reggae. I had all those (reggae) records in France with me when we moved there and when we were recording tracks for Exile on Main St. at Keith's house. Mick used to have them as well. I'd play him 'Cherry Oh Baby' or he'd play one to me. And The Harder They Come was an album Keith listened to a lot." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)
