Martha My Dear

Album: The Beatles (also known as The White Album)

Year: 1968

Written by: Lennon & McCartney

Take a guess who Paul McCartney is singing about in this song. (As John Lennon said to Little Nicola, "Go on, have a guess!") He's singing about his 2 year-old Old English Sheepdog named Martha.

Paul started composing this cute song as a piano exercise. First he wrote the pretty little introduction and then he just started adding words to the tune. He is actually the only Beatle who sings or plays any instruments on this track, but Producer George Martin arranged the brass and strings.

Enjoy!
