With regard to the spelling "child" instead of "chile", read the "confusion over the title" portion of the Wikipedia post for"Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Chile" that is given immediately below.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voodoo_Chile
" "Voodoo Chile" (/tʃaɪl/ CHAIL) is a song written
by Jimi Hendrix and recorded in 1968 for the third Jimi Hendrix Experience
album Electric Ladyland. It is based on the Muddy Waters blues song
"Rollin' Stone", but with original lyrics and music. At 15 minutes,
it is Hendrix's longest studio recording and features additional musicians in
what has been described as a studio jam.
"Voodoo Chile" was recorded at the Record Plant in New York City, after a late night jam session with Hendrix, Experience drummer Mitch Mitchell, organist Steve Winwood, and bassist Jack Casady. The song became the basis for "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)", recorded by the Experience the next day and one of Hendrix's best-known songs.
"Chile" is a phonetic approximation of "child" without the "d". In the UK, "Voodoo Chile" was also used as the title of the 1970 single release of "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)", which has caused confusion regarding the two songs.
[...]
Confusion over title
Jimi Hendrix occasionally used different names
and spellings for some of his songs. In his handwritten lyrics, he used
"Voodoo Chile" for the longer song, while he used both "Voodoo
Chile (Slight Return)" and "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" for
the following one recorded with the Experience.[21] In his handwritten album
notes for Electric Ladyland sent to his record company, he listed the songs as "Voodoo
Chile" and "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)";[22] when the album
was released in the US by Reprise Records on October 16, 1968,[23] these
spellings for the two songs were used.[24] When the album was subsequently
released by Track Records in the UK, the songs were listed as "Voodoo
Chile" and "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)".[25] In 1970, the
"(Slight Return)" song was released as a single in the UK and it was
simply titled "Voodoo Chile", without the further designation.[26]
Later album reissues usually follow the Reprise or Track album spellings,
depending on the country of origin."...
