Child Of Mine

Fleetwood Mac · Bare Trees [1972]

Little child of mine

You'll be lovin' like your little Mother did

Heard it somewhere before

I won't leave you no not like my Father did

Heavy country blues keep a rockin'

K-k-k-keep that soulbeat a-sockin'

Heavy country blues keep a rockin'

K-k-k-keep that soulbeat a-sockin'

I miss you again

I let the sunlight through my eyes

I won't cry

I miss you again

I let the sunlight through my eyes

I won't cry

Little child of mine

You'll be lovin' like your little Mother did

Heard it somewhere before,

I won't leave you, no not like my Father did

Heavy country blues keep a rockin'

K-k-k-keep that soulbeat a-sockin'

Heavy country blues keep a rockin'

K-k-k-keep that soulbeat a-sockin'

I miss you again

I let the sunlight through my eyes

I won't cry

I miss you again

I let the sunlight through my eyes

I won't cry

I miss you again

I let the sunlight through my eyes

I won't cry

I miss you again

I let the sunlight through my eyes

I won't cry

Child Of Mine

Recorded by Fleetwood Mac on their 1972 album Bare Trees, "Child Of Mine" stands as a quintessential example of the band's early psychedelic rock sound. The track features the signature interplay between guitarist Peter Green and bassist Mick Fleetwood, establishing the melodic foundation that would define the group's subsequent evolution. While the song captures the lush, reverb-drenched textures characteristic of the early 70s, it also hints at the emotional depth that would later characterize the band's work during the Rumours era. As a standalone recording, it serves as a testament to the band's roots in blues and rock before they became one of the most commercially successful acts in history.
