From SongFact:
Paul McCartney and the Beatles were fans of Little Richard, playing and recording several of his songs. They played “Miss Ann” live during their 1960-1961 gigs; they then recorded it during the January 1969 “Get Back” sessions. Paul McCartney also sang “Miss Ann” through various soundchecks – a recording from February 5th 1993 exists on bootlegs; and the song was still performed at times during 2016 & 2017 soundchecks.
Oh, oh, oh, Miss Ann, you're doin' something no-one can
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Miss Ann, you're doin' something no one can
Because believin' and deceivin', it's drivin' me to grievin' now
I want to hear, hear, hear Miss Ann, I want to hear her call my name
I want to hear, hear, hear Miss Ann, I want to hear her call my name
Because she keep callin' loud, but she calls it so sweet and so plain
Well, I told Miss Ann once, and I told Miss Ann twice
Yes, I told miss Ann once, and I told Miss Ann twice
Boys, when I'm with Miss Ann, I'm livin' in paradise
If she thinks I'm gonna let her be free, how wrong can Miss Ann be
If she thinks I'm gonna let her be free, how wrong can Miss Ann be
I'm in love with Miss Ann, and that's the way it's gonna be
