Get Back
Beatles · Anthology 3
Jo Jo was a man who thought he was a loner
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 - Beatles
Released as part of the Anthology 3 compilation, 'Get Back' captures the raw energy of The Beatles' final days. Originally recorded in January 1969, the track serves as a powerful musical document of the band's reunion and their return to their rock roots. The song features a stripped-down arrangement that highlights the group's improvisational spirit and camaraderie. It stands as a significant song in their discography, reflecting the transition from the polished studio productions of the late 1960s to a more organic, live-in-the-studio sound. The recording encapsulates the era's shift towards authenticity and remains a testament to the band's enduring influence on popular music.
