I Got to Find My Baby

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. more »

I've got to find my baby
Now, I'll search this town
I declare, I wouldn't lie
From do' to do'
I've got to find my baby
And the love that I crave
I declare, I wouldn't lie
I can't find no mo'
I ain't had no real good lovin'

Since that girl said, good-bye
I got to find my baby

I declare, I wouldn't lie
Now, if I was the Good Lord
I ain't had no real good lovin'
Pretty woman would never die
Since that gal said, good-bye
You may look good, baby

But you got to hang yo' head an cry
If I was the, Good Lord

Pretty women's would never die
I got to find my baby
You may be good lookin', baby
I declare, I wouldn't lie
But it's hang yo' head an cry
I ain't had no real good lovin'

Since that girl said, good-bye
I got to find my baby

I declare, I wouldn't lie
I ain't had no real good lovin'
Since that girl said, good-bye
Now, I'm gonna walk the flo', baby

'Till my mustache drag the ground
I'm gonna find my baby
I'm gonna find my baby
I declare, I wouldn't lie
And see what she puttin' down
I ain't had no real good lovin'

I declare, I wouldn't lie
Well, I know if it's the last thing
I ain't had no real good lovin'
I ever do in my life
Since that gal said, good-bye
I wanna find my big-leg brownskin
And make her my wife

I've got to find my baby
Well, I hate to see the sun
I declare, I wouldn't lie
Hurry to the west
I ain't had no real good lovin'
I know my whole night
Since that gal said, good-bye
Gonna be a solid mess

Little Walter

Little Walter, born Marion Walter Jacobs (May 1, 1930 – February 15, 1968), was an American blues harmonica player, whose revolutionary approach to his instrument has earned him comparisons to Charlie Parker and Jimi Hendrix, for innovation and impact on succeeding generations. His virtuosity and musical innovations fundamentally altered many listeners' expectations of what was possible on blues harmonica. Little Walter was inducted to the The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008 in the "sideman" category making him the first and only artist ever to be inducted specifically for his work as a harmonica player. more »
