On January 30, 1969, the Beatles climbed onto the roof of the Apple Corps record company in London, and they performed out of the blue a concert for their fans. As a matter of fact, the concert was supposed to be part of a one-hour TV special called Get Back. But then plans changed, the broadcast was canceled, and the Beatles started writing 'Let It Be', their 12th and final studio album, released in May 1970. Get back is an unusual song in the Beatles' canon, since almost every moment of the song's evolution has been extensively documented, from its beginning as an offhand riff to its final mixing in several versions. The song's melody grew out of some unstructured jamming on 7 January 1969 during London Twickenham Film Studios rehearsal sessions.

Get Back (to where you once belonged)

Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it wouldn't last
Jojo 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 Jojo, go home
Get back, get back
Back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Back to where you once belonged
Get back Jojo
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, go home
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
