"What's Wrong With My Baby"--James Putmon

(1/1)

Johnm:
Hi all,
The late Peter Lowry recorded James Putmon in Charlotte, North Carolina on March 22, 1979 for the Trix label, and the song, "What's Wrong With My Baby", never made it on to a commercial release. Putmon accompanied himself expertly in E position, standard tuning, and it's a shame that he did not make many more recordings. Here is "What's Wrong With My Baby":



INTRO SOLO

Told my baby, said the night before, "Wake up, little woman, and love me little more."
CHORUS: What's wrong with my baby? What's wrong with my baby?
What's wrong with my baby? She don't want me no more

SOLO

Give you money to pay your bills, come home last night, won't rob and steal
CHORUS: What's wrong with my baby? What's wrong with my baby?
What's wrong with my baby? She don't want me no more

SOLO

Told you last night, I ain't gon' tell you no more, "Wake up, baby, and love me little more."
CHORUS: What's wrong with my baby? What's wrong with my baby?
What's wrong with my baby? She don't want me no more

SOLO

Edited 4/25 to pick up corrections from Blues Vintage

All best,
Johnm

Blues Vintage:
The guitar playing is real fluent.

Not sure about 1.1  could also be a little more. He sings quite fast.

1.1 "Wake up in the morning, -little woman and- love me little more."

3.1 "Wake up, baby, -and- love me little more."

A SOLO after the 2nd verse?

Johnm:
Thanks for the catches, Blues Vintage, I incorporated them all. Yes, he was a really smooth player.
