Bonamassa, Joe - Cradle Rock Lyrics
If I was a cradle, would you let me rock?
If I was a pony, would you let me trot?
If I was an atom, swimmin' in the trees,
If I go out my cell phone's dead would you put you dogs on me?
If I was an outlaw, would you have me caught?
If I was a tiger, would you have me caged?
If I was somebody else, would you act your age?
You'll miss out if you're, getting high - no thank you.
Pray it doesn't happen, this time I'll make you see it.
You and I gotta say, this is about me and you, yeah.
If I was a nightlight, would you let me see?
If I was anchor, it'd be news to me.
If I tell you the truth now baby,
Listen when I talk!

Bonamassa, Joe Cradle Rock Comments
Great to keep this song alive.
Thanks joe.
But , nobody can beat Rory.💜
Funny how people can sit behind a computer or phone and hate a musician who is very talented making great music!
Rory would be proud!
Rory looked, played, sang and sounded 50 times better than this sad sellout.
drummer is great powerful player you can tell he loves it !!!
"You'll miss out if you
Leave me out of your,
Out of your day and night,
I'm just trying to make you see that
Hear what I've gotta say
This is about me and you."
-Rory's lyrics
I'm just wondering..... I love JB's music and all, but as much love as he has for Rory Gallagher, why can't he get the lyrics right?
I Love Cradle Rock, I love Les Pauls, I even like Joe ok......but eh......I understand it's Rorys thing but.....man Rory made it rock. I do appreciate the fact Joe does it, and appreciates Rory enough to, so thanks.
super!!
Joe Bonamassa creates this scale of energies up an down our spine
JOE DOES RORY PROUD BUT THERE WAS ONLY ONE RORY GALLAGHER VERY SAD LOSS 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
My Dad is a huge Rory fan! I recently gave him a copy of Joe's amazing 2009 royal albert hall performance on Dvd and he loved it!
Joe is the undisputed king of blues rock in my generation! ♥
R.I.P Rory G
No. No doubt; he's a great guitar player, there are many examples of great covers and perfect concerts of Joe in the web but, no. This is awesome this is perfect guitar playing, but, no; Rory music lovers know what I'm talkin' about
I get you. :) This sounds safe and too smooth. The original is frantic and fiery. This one may be technically excellent, but it doesn't stand up next to Rory's.
This is a great tribute to Rory, I saw Rory play many times, there is only one Rory Gallagher.
This is a great Tribute to Rory Gallagher, he left us too soon. Thanks for the memories!
Is that Paul Kossoff's guitar ??
Joe's shows are too damn expensive.
This was an utter BLASPHEMY
matou a musica, definitivamente ele não gosta do Rory Gallagher
Its more like "Cabaret Rock".....
Forget this, Rory Gallagher (Irish tour 74) is the better man!
great Les Paul and vintage Marshall tone
Joe is excellent. But I dislike this cover of CR. It doesn't work so much on the Gibson, and his interpretation is super smooth and flowy. Not gruff and rude like Rory's was. I like him and respect him, but I adore the dirty playing of Rory. This is just too creamy for me. That said, I admire Joe for at least drawing attention to my favorite guitarist on the planet, the G - man.
Very well said. I don't dislike JB, but no one can do Rory better than Rory.
Best wishes from ohio.
he plays it in the wrong beat and make dull!! Nice intro though, but...dull...
HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE JOE B
No emotion, no power, no Rory. Joe, please focus on your own songs.
Joe Bonamassa kicks asssssssss!
Nice Joe, didn't know you were a fan of Rory Gallagher, haven't heard anyone else cover him before. RIP Rory, you will not be forgotten.
+Glenn Cleveland
He's a big fan. There's a tape on YouTube somewhere where he's playing Rory's classic Strat.
2015....3 years later.....the best guitar player in the world...all his inspiration is dead
....he makes good music live in...
Rokcin Joe... Make those strings sing
what a tool, he so doesn't get Gallagher's whole deal
+Michael Kelly This is Joe's deal.....now.
WHAT!!?????
What is this???
It's Rory Gallagher
if Les Paul had a son he would look like Joe Bonamassa
I would love to watch a video of him without being bombarded by bullshit pop up ads on the screen. Damn!
Then you should buy the DVD. DUH!
adblock plus for google chrome will solve those stupid pop up ads, try it
best!!!aaaaahahaha!!!just cant stand!!
Love it :D
The intro not only reminds of Rory Gallagher... it reminds me of another irish player any guesses?
mr. gary moore ;)
Yeah! hahaha
@Juan Enrique Ortiz
Both major influences on Joe.
If i was a cradle, would you let me rock
If i was a foly would you let me trout
if i was banana, swimming in the trees
>Gier olav: I'm not sure why you printed JB's version of the lyrics here- but you'd think that JB would, out of respect to Rory, learn the PROPER lyrics for the song, instead of half-assing it......
If I was a cradle, then you'd let me rock
If I was a pony, then you'd let me trot
If I was the atom, you'd split me into three
But when I wanna see you, though, baby-
You put your dog on me (!)
@Ed Burton Actually, Rory's lyrics are "When I wanna see you baby, why do you lock your door on me"
@C Fralick Yes, that's in the studio version from the "Tattoo" album. The live "Irish Tour '74" version is "put your dog on me"
@Ed Burton Good point.... either way, with Rory being one of JB's idols, you think he'd give him the respect of learning the lyrics.
After sitting through this video again from start to finish and trying to decipher the vocals, I'm still thinking JB is just spouting a bunch of gibberish because he either forgot or never knew the right lyrics
Right on ,Joe.....Always consistent, and never a disappointment..Keep it coming brother........
Just wonderful! No word...
Chops-a-PLENTY
Thanks a million. Terrific tune by the late, great Rory, and what a great arrangement by Joe. Rare indeed.
Great, as usual.
Taste, restraint and unequaled technical mastery; vocal color, range and resonance just KEEPS getting richer, better, truer.
His guitar work in this song just show's how good Joe can be great music!
Joe Marvelous your concerts and video!!
flambant hommage à Rory. Vertigineux Bonamassa!
He is a good business man. And such a hard worker. Wow :-) and the Review 2013 said it all. :-)
Amazing...cant wait till April to see him in Indiana!!
J'adore sa façon de jouer ,merci du partage
the starting shot is killing
He is THE BEST !!!
His tone is pure amazing :-)
Bonamagic
YPEROXOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
flat out rocks to the core
Amazing playing and amazing video - the camera angles, video quality, sound, editing, etc are all first rate - which is to be expected, of course.
Plus that drumming. That's some taking-care-of-business drumming!
Awesome as always.
Joe everyday; yeah!
BRILLIANT
