"Golden Slumbers" is based on the poem "Cradle Song" from the play Patient Grissel, a lullaby by the dramatist Thomas Dekker, first published in 1603. McCartney saw sheet music for "Cradle Song" at his father's home in Liverpool, left on a piano by his stepsister Ruth. Unable to read music, he created his own music. McCartney uses the first stanza of the original poem, with minor word changes,[ adding to it a single lyric line repeated with minor variation.

@stubass: i think it will be fine for the most part, maybe a couple notes will be a bit low, but I'll have to try it out!

Great! Do you think the BV needs a male vocal in addition to the female?
