ROLLING STONES LYRICS

HEY CRAWDADDY

Song was titled "Craw-Dad" when written by Bo Diddley in 1960. In 1963, the Stones would closed out their shows at the Crawdaddy Club with this song each night and the band renamed the song for their use.  After they stopped playing there, they would only play it one final time, in Paris, France, on April 17, 1965. The song was recorded on that night, but never released, available on boot only. Sounds great, I'll add!
Vocals: Mick Jagger Guitars: Brian Jones (Lead), Keith Richard Bass: Bill Wyman Drums: Charlie Watts
