"Little Child" is song by The Beatles from their album With the Beatles. It was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney for Ringo Starr, but instead he was given "I Wanna Be Your Man" as his album song.
McCartney describes "Little Child" as being a "work song", an "album filler". He admits to stealing the line: "I’m so sad and lonely" from Elton Hayes (a British balladeer and actor) but which song it’s taken from is unclear. McCartney overdubs piano, and Lennon plays harmonica (Lennon’s harmonica playing on this track is very much inspired by Cyril Davies, who was part of Alexis Korner’s Blues Incorporated.)
