Slow Down
was written and recorded by Larry Williams, one of Lennon’s
heroes, in 1958. The Beatles’ version was included
on the EP Long Tall Sally, which was released in the uk
on June 19 1964 (no 11, singles chart). The song also made
it to to number 25 on the US charts in September 1964.
The arrangement
on the Live At The BBC album, recorded July 16 1963, is
closer to the original.

Come on pretty baby won't you talk with me
Come on pretty baby give me one more chance
Try and save our romance
Slow down

Carry your books home, too
But now you got a boyfriend down the street
Baby what're you trying to do a do
You better slow down
Baby,

You gotta gimme little loving

Come on pretty baby, why can't you be true
I need you badly, baby, oh so bad
The best little woman I ever had
Slow down
Baby,

You gotta gimme little loving
gimme little loving
Ow, if you want our love to last
