BEATLES - LITTLE CHILD (Lennon & McCartney) From WITH THE
BEATLES album. Released on 22nd November 1963.
---------------------------------------------------------
In spite of being maybe too light, compared to their tougher
aim and look a couple of years before it's easy to fancy the
group playing something similar in Hamburg, though there are
not any guitars on this recording. Just bass, drums, piano,
harmonica and vocals. John's thoughtless wit performing his
harmonica part is very touching. Paul plays also rhythm on
piano, as he started doing in the old days, when his Rosetti
Solid 7 broke and before switching to bass.
Little child, little child,
Little child, won't you dance with me?
I'm so sad and lonely,
Baby take a chance with me.
If you want someone
To make you feel so fine,
Then we'll have some fun
When you're mine, all mine,
So come, come on, come on.
Little child, little child,
Little child, won't you dance with me?
I'm so sad and lonely,
Baby take a chance with me.
SOLO
When you're by my side,
You're the only one,
Don't you run and hide,
Just come on, come on,
So come on, come on, come on.
Little child, little child,
Little child, won't you dance with me?
I'm so sad and lonely,
Baby take a chance with me Oh yeah
Baby take a chance with me Oh yeah
Baby take a chance with me Oh yeah ...
