Get Back

Lyrics: Lennon/McCartney
Music: Lennon/McCartney

Played once by the Grateful Dead on 28 January 1987 (not very successfully). Revived more recently by Phil Lesh & Friends.

Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it couldn't last
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
For some California grass

Chorus
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged

Get back Jojo

[chorus]
Get back Jojo

Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
But she was another man
All the girls around her knew she had it coming
But she gets it while she can

[chorus]

Get back Loretta
Wearing your high-school sweater
Get back Loretta
Get back

[chorus]
[chorus]

Best get back Lorreta
You better not take off that high-school sweater now
You best get back Loretta
Wearing those high-heeled shoes
Could give a man the blues now

[chorus]
[chorus]
[chorus]
