Let's Stick Together

We should not split up.
We made a promise, and we
Have a little child.

Wilbert Harrison failed to chart with this single when he released it in 1962. He changed it to "Let's Work Together," issued it again in 1969 and it was a big hit. It's not hard to see why. It's simple, it moves and it's fun. Bryan Ferry scored his highest-charting single with this song in 1976 on the album of the same name, and featured an incredibly strange vocal interlude from Jerry Hall. Bob Dylan's version opens his 1988 album "Down in the Groove," almost universally regarded as one of his two worst albums. It's a pity because Dylan's version of this song is a ramshackle good time. Here are the lyrics:

Well, a young marriage vow, you know, it's very sacred
The man put us together, now, you want to make it
Stick together
Come on, come on, stick together.

You know, you made a vow, not to leave one another, never
Well, ya never miss your water till your well runs dry
Come on, baby, give our love a try, let's stick together
Come on, come on, stick together
We made a vow, not to leave one another, never.

Well, ya never miss your water till your well runs dry
Come on, baby, give our love a try, let's stick together
Come on, come on, stick together
You know, we made a vow, not to leave one another, never.

It might be tough for a while, but think of the child
Cannot be happy without his mom and his pappy
Let's stick together
Come on, come on, stick together
You know, we made a vow, not to leave one another, never.
