Escrita
por Paul McCartney, mas creditada à dupla Lennon/McCartney, foi
gravada em 4 de outubro de 1968 e lançada em 22 de novembro de 1968
no disco Album Branco.
A
canção foi inspirada numa cadela que Paul tinha, da raça Old
English Sheepdog, chamada Martha. Mas ele fez pensando em Jane Asher,
sua noiva, que havia acabado o relacionamento com ele poucos meses
antes.
Paul
cantou, tocou piano, baixo, bateria e bateu palmas. George Harrison
tocou guitarra. Músicos convidados tocaram a instrumentação. Ringo
e John não participaram dessa música.
A
letra:
Martha,
my dear
Though I spend my days in conversation, please
Remember me
Martha, my love
Don't forget me
Martha, my dear
Though I spend my days in conversation, please
Remember me
Martha, my love
Don't forget me
Martha, my dear
Hold your head up, you silly girl
Look what you've done
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you
Silly girl
Look what you've done
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you
Silly girl
Take a good look around you
Take a good look you're bound to see
That you and me were meant to be
With each other
Silly girl
Take a good look you're bound to see
That you and me were meant to be
With each other
Silly girl
Hold you're hand out, you silly
girl
See what you've done
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you
Silly girl
See what you've done
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you
Silly girl
Martha, my dear
You have always been my inspiration
Please, be good to me
Martha, my love
Don't forget me
Martha, my dear.
You have always been my inspiration
Please, be good to me
Martha, my love
Don't forget me
Martha, my dear.
