“I’m So Tired”

Another White Album song John wrote while in India. He was with his wife Cynthia, but was missing Yoko and couldn’t sleep. Meh. There’s a line about Sir Walter Raleigh being a stupid “get” or “git,” British slang for a total jerk. John blamed Sir Walter for bringing tobacco to England, causing Lennon’s cigarette addiction. There’s also some gibberish at the end that when played backwards is supposed to say, “Paul is a dead man. Miss him, miss him, miss him.” Part of the hoax?
