MARTHA MY DEAR
(Lennon-McCartney)
1968


One of Paul's simple love songs, inspired by Martha, his old English sheep 
dog.  Unusually for the Beatles this was not recorded at Abbey Road, but at 
London's Trident Studios.



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
Take a good look around you, take a good look you're bound to see
That you and me were meant to be for each other, silly girl


Hold your 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


Martha my dear you have always been my inspiration please be good to me
Martha my love don't forget me, Martha my dear
