My Baby's Gone

Play it!

Lyrics

My hair's getting longer

Don't know what I'm gonna do

My Shirts are all wrinkled

I got holes in my shoes

You may not be listening

But I know what is wrong

My world is falling down

And the reason is it's all because

My Baby's gone


And when she talked to me

All my fears would crumble and

My world would be made whole

And when she held me

I would feel as safe as a

Lamb in the Fold


It's not getting better

Each day is more blue

Life's getting pretty stale

What happened to you?

You may not be listening

But I know what is wrong

My world is falling down

And the reason is it's all because My Baby's gone


And when she talked to me

All my fears would crumble and

My world would be made whole

And when she held me

I would feel as safe as a

Lamb in the Fold


My Baby's gone was written by Ed and recorded many years ago for one of his "Sherlock Holmes" Christmas tapes. In those days, it was a reggae styled shuffle. But the Rickets were having none of that and decided to take it up to eleven.

The backing tracks were recorded at 5AM early into the Ricket sessions with Veg on bass, Bobby on drums, Alan singing guide vocals, and Ed on rhythm guitar. Ed laid down a lead part and the song was left alone for a while.

After the Abbey Road sessions, Ed laid down an organ part to fill out the track along with an attempt at backing vocals which were later scrapped. Keith Davis provided excellent lead guitar work on the track which was mixed by Les and Ed at 5AM.
