I Lost My Little Girl

Sir Paul has said that I Lost My Little Girl was the first song he ever wrote. Most staff at BDJ studios find that hard to believe; the song is quite complex (note the variation in vocals between verse 1 and 2), it contains a 'full stop' after the middle eight etc. Furthermore, the group played the song during the Let It Be session (1969) with Lennon on vocals. This suggests that the song was on the reportoire at some time. However, no recording by the Quarrymen is known. Therefore, a date closer to Love Me Do (to which it musically bears resemblance) is more likely than an earlier date.The sentiments expressed by the lyrics are remarkably similar to Yesterday; the singer is confused because something terrible happended the day before; his girl/woman left him, and he does not understand why. A taste of self-pity is present here as well.Overall a very interesting song; only recorded by Paul for the Unplugged sessions (and a later soundcheck). Sufficient reason for the BDJ producers to pull out the plugs and renew the acquaintance with this enigmatic song.
