Get Back
The Beatles · Let It Be (Remastered) [2009]
But he knew it couldn't last
Jo Jo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
for some California grass
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back Jo Jo
Go home
Get back, get back
Back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Back to where you once belonged
Get back Jo
Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
But she was another man
All the girls around her say she's got it coming
But she gets it while she can
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back Loretta
Ah, get back
Yeah, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Yeah get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, Ooo
[Past Masters/single version only:
Get back, Loretta,
Your mommy's waiting for you,
Wearin' her high heel shoes and her low neck sweater,
Get back home, Loretta
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged.
Get back, get back, get back...]
Get Back - The Beatles
Released as the final track on the Let It Be album, Get Back stands as a pivotal moment in The Beatles' discography, capturing the band's raw energy and collaborative spirit during their final studio sessions. Originally recorded in January 1969, the song was later reimagined for the 1970 documentary film of the same name, where it served as a powerful musical backdrop to scenes depicting the group's final days together. The track features a distinctive acoustic guitar-driven arrangement that highlights John Lennon's lead vocals and Paul McCartney's harmonies, reflecting the band's transition from polished pop production to a more organic, folk-rock sound. Its inclusion on the 2009 remastered edition underscores its enduring significance as a testament to the group's artistic evolution and the complex dynamics that defined their last years.
