Incredible tune. It finally found its way as an official release on The Stones reissue of Some Girls Deluxe Edition. However, the vocals were re-done for the re-release. Your video has the original vocals, (which sound almost tongue-in-cheek) and therefore, I believe, it is a better example of what the Stones sounded like during the 1977-78 studio sessions. thanx for postiting.
Five days later, it sounds even better. I don't think that it would have worked on the original "Some Girls". Too much country/blues in a "punk era", might have reduced sales. I would have bought it, regardless.
However, what I view as a country parody: "Faraway Eyes" is a gem that is stuck in my mind after all these years.
A pleasant surprise! I'd subscribe, but You Tube won't let me. I get this message: 'You have too many subscriptions compared to your number of subscribers'. WTF? I keep up! They told me to 'drop some old subscriptions if you want to add any new ones.' Anal-retentive Nazis... Anyway, I'm so glad to hear this - I can't post it today as a favourite cause they also think I have too many - which I keep up!!!

I love the Stones doing country. Oh, sure, this could use another take or two. But the emotion and drunken, broken heart are right on.
