Martha My DearThe Beatles84rank/position

Martha My Dear (Remastered 2009)

The Beatles’ “Martha My Dear” is a song that Paul McCartney wrote about his feelings when he got his first pet, an Old English Sheepdog named Martha.

No matter how mischievous she was or what she did, he just found her irresistibly adorable.

The lyrics convey the affection of a devoted owner, paired with a beautiful, quintessentially Beatles melody—both major charms of the song.

Although it was cut from the 2009 remastered version, the piano played by Paul, who is said to have taught himself the instrument, is another wonderful highlight—so be sure to compare the versions and give it a listen!
