The song is "Crimson and Clover" performed by Tommy James and the Shondells
(they performed "Mony, Mony", "I think we're alone now" and "Crystal Blue
Persuasion" among others). Here are the lyrics I grabbed from the OLGA
site awhile back. Hope this helps.
"Crimson And Clover"
(Tommy James/Peter Lucia)
[Notes: 1) This is a deceptively simple song; like Jefferson Airplane's
"Somebody To Love", there are only four chords in it, but no two verses
are identical. 2) Tommy James played all the guitar parts on this, and
he usually played in open E; you might want to try it.]

B F# E
Ah
F# B F# E
Now I don't hardly know her
F# B F# E
But I think I could love her

The name of the song is "Crimson and Clover" and it was done by Tommy
James and the Shondells -- maybe in the early- to mid-sixties. They
used lots of reverb during parts of it. I remember a cover several years
ago -- but I can't for the life of me remember who did it. A female
vocalist, as I recall.
Hope this helps!

I thought I'd post it to the group also. Not real pretty in this
format, but it gets the words across.

The best known remake I know of is Joan Jett's in the early 80's. It's on
the "I Love Rock'n'Roll" album (another remake incidently). Hey, has
anyone heard her rendition of Leslie Gore's "You don't Own Me" on the "Bad
Reputation" LP? Not too shabby ...

Hiya Courtney,
"Crimson and Clover" was performed originally by Tommy James and the
Shondells in the late '60's. I have the lyrics with "tab" (tablature)
chords included. Got this from 'alt.guitar.tab' newsgroup awhile back.
Hope this'll do the trick for ya.
