Nope. The first and only Beatles song the Stones ever recorded or performed was 'I Wanna Be Your Man'. Recorded some 17 months after they played their first gig and about 9 months after they got their first record contract. technically not even a cover, as the Beatles GAVE them the song.
I thought this was common knowledge amongst Stones fans - but the Stones started off exclusively covering songs by black American blues and R&B singers, not those of an emerging beat combo from Liverpool who had barely a handful of original songs to their name at that time.
Somewhat difficult I would imagine to start out by copying a band whose first record wouldnt be released until 3 months after you played your first gig,
You wont find too many Beatles songs in their early repertoire - heres some documentation -
