This is from a rehearsal at Paul's house in 1960 (according to the video description)
The audio quality of this is quite bad, but from what I can make out, the song is about a trip of some sort.
John says he's going to see his sister and I'm guessing he wants Paul to come along, because Paul sings about not knowing what to tell "the fellas" and his father.
I found a transcript on a website some time ago, and while I don't think it's completely accurate, it's a big help.
J) Hey little boy, I'm packing my shoes, and I'm leaving you.
I told my Mama I'm going to see my sister (adopted sister?)
She don't wanna see me, I don't know what I'm going to do.
P) A long time ago I called you Johnny boy.
P) I don't know what to tell the fellas.
J) Well I'll tell the fellas that I do love you.
P) I don't know what I'm gonna do.
I don't know what I'm gonna do when I tell my father
You love me Johnny, I love you Johnny
