"Little Child" is a song by The Beatles from their album "With the Beatles". It was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney for Ringo Starr, but Starr was instead given "I Wanna Be Your Man" as his album song.Fact|date=May 2008

McCartney describes "Little Child" as being a "work song", an "album filler".Fact|date=May 2008 He admits to stealing the line "I'm so sad and lonely" from the song Whistly My Love by British balladeer and actor Elton Hayes. [ [http://www.beatlesbible.com/songs/little-child/ The Beatles Bible: Little Child] ] The phrase "sad and lonely" also appears in the song Act Naturally, which Starr covered for the album "Help!".

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.)Fact|date=May 2008
