Please, Please, Please

Lyrics: James Brown
Music: James Brown

I've seen references to the Grateful Dead having soundchecked this on 26 or 28 March 1995, with Vince singing. The recording on archive.org doesn't include this, and I don't know if the reference is a mistake. There is some banter during the attempt at "Paperback Writer" where someone refers to the Beatles song "Please Please Me" which may have led to the confusion.

For the record, the James Brown version of this song is:

Please, please, please, please
(Please, please, don't go)
Please, please, please
(Please, please, don't go)
Honey please don't go
Yeah, oh yeah, whoa
I love you so
(Please, please, don't go)

Baby you did me wrong
(You know you done me wrong)
Whoa, whoa, you done me wrong
(You know you done me wrong)
You know, you done, done me wrong
(Whoa, whoa, oh yeah)
Took my love and now you're gone
(Please, please, don't go)

Please, please, please, please, please
(Please, please, don't go)
Please, please, please, please, please
(Please, please, don't go)
Honey please don't go
Whoa, oh yeah, Lord
I love you so
(Please, please, don't go)

I just want to hear you say aye
(Please, please, don't go)
Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye
(Please, please, don't go)
Honey please don't go
Oh, oh, yeah
I love you so
(Please, please, don't go)

Baby take my hand
(Please, please, don't go)
I want to be your loving man, oh yeah
(Please, please, don't go)
Darling please don't go
Oh, yeah, oh
I love you so
(Please, please, don't go)

Please ... don't go
(Please, please, don't go)
Please ... don't go
(Please, please, don't go)
Honey please don't go
I love you so
(Please, please, don't go)
Please, please
