J Marie Cooper Covers Janis Joplin’s “Cry Baby”

J Marie Cooper Covers Janis Joplin’s “Cry Baby” | Society Of Rock Videos

This Will Make You Cry Happy Tears!

Though the original recording was by Garnet Mimms and the Enchanters, Janis Joplin’s version of “Cry Baby” was undeniably the most popular.

Janis Joplin’s rendition of the song became so popular, it became a part of Janis’ repertoire. Janis’ always managed to put every inch of her soul into every song she sang.

“Cry Baby” is Janis in full, passionate orbit. Her urge for drama, sometimes too hasty and spurting — not developed and sustained — is controlled by the solid foundation Full Tilt Boogie provides. She stays in control, and invitations to hysteria notwithstanding, gives a fantastic performance. — Rolling Stone

In this outstanding cover, J Marie Cooper sings this timeless classic. And , she nails it!

Emulating Janis is not an easy task, and while no one comes close to Janis herself, many performers do an incredible job at paying tribute to our favorite blues queen.
 

+Cry Baby lyrics below+

Cry baby, cry baby, cry baby,
Honey, welcome back home.
I know she told you,
Honey I know she told you that she loved you
Much more than I did,
But all I know is that she left you,
And you swear that you just don’t know why,
But you know, honey I’ll always,
I’ll always be around if you ever want me
Come on and cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby,
Oh honey, welcome back home.

Don’t you know, honey,
Ain’t nobody ever gonna love you
The way I try to do ?
Who’ll take all your pain,
Honey, your heartache, too ?
And if you need me, you know
That I’ll always be around if you ever want me
Come on and cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby,
Oh daddy, like you always saying to do.

And when you walk around the world, babe,
You said you’d try to look for the end of the road,
You might find out later that the road’ll end in Detroit,
Honey, the road’ll even end in Kathmandu.
You can go all around the world
Trying to find something to do with your life, baby,
When you only gotta do one thing well,
You only gotta do one thing well to make it in this world, babe.
You got a woman waiting for you there,
All you ever gotta do is be a good man one time to one woman
And that’ll be the end of the road, babe,
I know you got more tears to share, babe,
So come on, come on, come on, come on, come on,
And cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby.

And if you ever feel a little lonely, dear,
I want you to come on, come on to your mama now,
And if you ever want a little love of a woman
Come on and baby baby baby babe babe baby now
Cry baby yeah.
