About "Golden Slumbers"

From the original Beatles Album "Abbey Road" (1969)

GEORGE 1969: "Another very melodic tune of Paul's which is also quite nice."

JOHN 1969: "It was up to Paul where he went with violins and what he did with them, and I think he wanted a stright kind of backing-- nothing freaky."

PAUL 1969: "I was just playing the piano in Liverpool at my dad's house, and my sister Ruth's piano book... she was learning piano... and 'Golden Slumbers and your old favorites' was up on the stand, you know-- it was a little book with all those words in it. I was just flipping through it and I came to 'Golden Slumbers.' I can't read music so I didn't know the tune... I can't remember the old tune... so I just started playing 'my' tune to it. And then, I liked the words so I just kept that, you know, and then it fitted with another bit of song I had-- which is the verse in between it. So I just made that into a song. It just happened 'cuz I was reading her book."

I do love these "old" McCartney songs like "when I'm 64 , I follow the sun or all my loving ....for all of the Beatles songs.:)

Wrong words
It's "sleep PRETTY darling," not "sleep LITTLE darling." And please take out the techno-pop at the end. Yuck.

I am now writing a book, hopefully to have someone transpose it to a movie script. I chose the title by taking the first line from this song by the Beatles and ended up with "Once There Was a Way ... " Since Paul plagiarized the lyrics from a song book also, I wonder if I might get a clearance to use my title along with the music in this movie. Anyone Help me here?

Thanks, it is a wonderful song, but does beg for more definition of who "little darling" is, and what problems are present.
