the rolling stones - poison ivy (version 1) - enhanced sound video free download

This is the "crisp" version, with güïro (ratchet-like sound). It was on a single, together with "Fortune teller", but the single was withdrawn, so only a few hundred copies exist. Released januari 1964 on an EP that also had "Bye bye Johnny", "Money" and "You better move on" on it. The first 15 seconds Brian sings second voice, as well as 0:35 to 0:40 and further on, like 1:53 and so on. I think this was the reason the group re-recorded the song. Pity, "Brian's version" sure is the best. There is a version of this version WITHOUT güïro on the bootleg "No stone unturned + 7 bonus".

First recorded on August 18, 1963, this take was suppose to be released as the follow-up single to "Come On", but it never happened. It was released in the UK on the album "Saturday Club" in Jan, 1964. Re-recorded November 14, 1963 and released in the UK on the EP "The Rolling Stones", on Jan 10, 1964. Released in the US on "More Hot Rocks 2", in 1972.

Electric guitars: Brian Jones & Keith Richards. Background vocals: Brian Jones (also vocal harmony), Mick Jagger & Bill Wyman. Lead vocal & guiro: Mick Jagger. Bass: Bill Wyman. Drums: Charlie Watts.

POISON IVY

(Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller)

She comes on like a rose

And everybody knows

She'll get you in dutch

You can look but you'd better not touch

Poison ivy, poison ivy

Well late at night when you're sleeping

Poison ivy comes a creeping all around

She's pretty as a daisy

But look out man she's crazy

She'll really do you in

If you let her get under your skin

Poison ivy, poison ivy

Well late at night when you're sleeping

Poison ivy comes a creeping all around

Measles make you bumpy and mumps'll make you lumpy

and chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch

A common cold'll cool you but whooping cough'll fool you

but poison ivy's gonna make you itch

You're gonna need an ocean

of calamine lotion

You'll be scratching like a hound

the minute you start to mess around

Poison ivy, poison ivy

Well late at night when you're sleeping

Poison ivy comes a creeping all around

Measles make you bumpy and mumps'll make you lumpy

and chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch

A common cold'll cool you and whooping cough'll fool you

but poison ivy's gonna make you itch

You're gonna need an ocean

of calamine lotion

You'll be scratching like a hound

the minute you start to mess around

Poison ivy, poison ivy

Well late at night when you're sleeping

Poison ivy comes a creeping all around
