Civic Auditorium, San Jose CA - 25.nov.1964
Masonic Memorial Auditorium, San Francisco CA - 27.nov.1964
3 slightly different lyrics and verses 3/4 exchanged
Listen to me, baby
There's somethin' you might see
I want to be with you, gal
If you wanna be with me.
But if you got to go, it's alright
But if you got to go, go now
Or else you got to stay all night.
It ain't that i'm [questionin' you / askin']
To take part in any [quizz / part of quizz / kind of quizz]
It's just that i ain't got no watch
An' you keep askin' me what time it is.
So if you got to go, it's alright
But if you got to go, go now
Or else you got to stay all night.
I am just a poor boy, baby
[Lookin' / Tryin'] to connect
But i certainly don't want you thinkin'
That i [ain't / haven't ] got any respect.
So if you got to go, it's alright
But if you got to go, go now
Or else you got to stay all night.
You know I'd have a guilty conscience / You know that I'd have nightmares
And I'd say [guilty] too / And a guilty conscience, too
If I kept you from [doin'] anything
That you really wanna do.
So if you got to go, it's alright
But if you got to go, go now
Or else you got to stay all night.
It ain't that i'm wanting
Anythin' you never gave before
It's just that i'll be sleeping soon
An' it'll be too dark for you to find the door.
So if you got to go, it's alright
But if you ggot to go, go now
Or else you got to stay all night.

Listen to me, baby
There's something you might see
I wanna be with you, girl
If you wanna be with me.
But if you gotta go, it's alright
But if you gotta go, go now
Or else you got to stay all night.

To take part in any kind of quizz
It's just that i ain't got no watch
An' you keep askin' me what time it is.

But if you got to go, go now
Or else you got to stay all night.

But i certainly don't want you thinking
That i haven't got any respect.
So if you got to go, it's alright
But if you got to go, go now
Or else you got to stay all night.
You know that i have nightmares
And a guilty conscience, too
If i kept you from doin' anything
That you really wanna to.
So if you got to go, it's alright
But if you got to go, go now
Or else you got to stay all night.
It ain't that i'm askin' you
To do anything you never did before
It's just that i'll be sleeping soon
An' it'll be too dark for you to find the door.
So if you gotta go, it's alright
But if you got to go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night.

Bluesbreakers session, Levy's recording studio, London - 12.may.1965, 1 verse
I'll just do one verse, OK
Listen to me, baby
There's something you must see.
I want to be with you, gal
If you want to be with me.
But if you gotta go, it's alright
If you gotta go, go now,
Or else you gotta stay all night.
Okay, we'll fade it out here, stop, fade it out, fade it out.
