You Can't Judge a Book By Looking At the Cover (Live Crawdaddy Club 1963)

You can't judge an apple by looking at the tree,
You can't judge honey by looking at the bee,
You can't judge a daughter by looking at the mother,
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover.
Oh can't you see, oh, well, you misjudge me.
I look like a farmer but I'm a lover,
Can't judge a book by looking at the cover.
Yeah, that's right,
That's so good.

You can't judge a fish by lookin' in the pond,
You can't judge right by looking at the wrong,
You can't judge one by looking at the other,
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover.
Oh can't you see, oh, well, you misjudge me.
I look like a farmer but I'm a Lover,
Can't judge a book by looking at the cover.

You can't judge sugar by looking at the cane,
You can't judge a woman by looking at her man,
You can't judge a sister by looking at the brother,
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover.
Oh can't you see, oh, well, you misjudge me.
I look like a farmer but I'm a lover,
Can't judge a book by looking at the cover.
