I Don't Need No Doctor

In which Humble Pie cover a beautiful song by Ray Charles and absolutely ruin it (!!) for everybody else, that is.

Ray's original is very cool



But their cover is very hot

Steve Marriot : guitar and lead vocals
Peter Frampton : guitar and vocals
Greg Ridley : bass and vocals
Jerry Shirley : drums


From Rockin' the Fillmore (1971)

I don't need no doctor
'Cause I know what's ailing me
I don't need no doctor
'Cause I know what's ailing me
All I need is my baby
You don't know I'm in misery

I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor

I don't need no doctor
My prescription tells me that
I don't need no doctor
My prescription tells me that
All I need is my baby
You don't know I'm in misery

I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor

Well the doctor said I need rest
He put me on the critical list
Keeping me safe from harm
All I need is her sweet charm
He gave me a medicated lotion
but it didn't soothe my emotion

I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor

I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor
