Many people thought this Carl Perkins cover was but one of
those songs they let Ringo sing to please fans and that it
was also rather poorly produced, but I think that its smooth
rocking feel, specially during the solo, and that real funny
original "little dog" verse are enough to make it a great
number. Maybe Perkins vocal part is better than that of Ringo
but I think he does a good job too, not being a born singer,
and Paul's walking bass and George's guitar are really good.
Whatever critics may say, I think those four lads knew how to
rock in a way that few bands ever did or will.
I said I'm sitting here watching
Matchbox hole in my clothes
I said I'm sitting here wondering
Matchbox hole in my clothes
I ain't got no matches,
But I sure got a long way to go
I'm an old poor boy
I'm a long way from home
I'm an old poor boy
And I'm a long way from home
I've never been happy
'cause everything I ever did was wrong
Well, if you don't want my peaches,
Honey, please, don't shake my tree
If you don't want any of those peaches,honey,
Please don't mess around my tree
I've got news for you baby
Leave me here in misery, all right!
Well let me be your little dog
Till your big dog comes
Let me be your little dog
Till your big dog comes
And when your big dog gets here
Watch how your puppy dog runs
Well I said I'm sitting here watching
Matchbox hole in my clothes
I said I'm sitting here wondering
Matchbox hole in my clothes
I ain't got no matches,
But I sure got a long way to go
