About I Got to Find My Baby

"Gotta Find My Baby" was composed by blues singer Peter Clayton, who recorded it under the name "Doctor Clayton' in Chicago on 11 November 1941 for Bluebird Records (released as Bluebird B8901). Some of Clayton's recordings were reissued on the album Pearl Harbor Blues (RCA International LP1176) in 1970, but "Gotta Find My Baby" was excluded; it is currently available on Doctor Clayton - His Complete Recorded Works (Document CD DOCD 5179). The song was later recorded by other Rhythm & Blues artists in the 1950s as "I Got To Find My Baby", including Little Walter and Chuck Berry, who is often credited with the song as his own. It has also been covered by The Beatles, which appears on the album Live at the BBC, released in 1994.

I'm gonna search this town
From door to door
The love I crave
I can't find no more

I got to find my baby
I declare I wouldn't no lie
I ain't had no real good loving
Since that girl said goodbye

You know I hate to see the sun
Hurry to the west
'Cause I know my whole life's
Will be one solid mess

I got to find my baby
I declare that ain't no lie
I ain't had no real good loving
Since that girl said goodbye

Yes, ever since the day
That she said we were through
I've been nervous
And shook up too

I got to find my baby
I declare I wouldn't no lie
I ain't had no real good loving
Since that girl said goodbye

Yes, I don't care if it's the last thing
I ever do in my life
I'm gonna find that little girl
Make her my wife

I got to find my baby
I declare I wouldn't no lie
I ain't had no real good loving
Since that girl said goodbye
