John Lennon wrote this in India while The Beatles were on a retreat learning meditation with the Maharishi.
John used "yer" instead of "your" in the title so as not to be taken too seriously. The song is a good-natured jab at the British blues scene.
A 9 minute version with Lennon, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards and Mitch Mitchell was performed on the Rolling Stones' Rock 'n' Roll Circus. Taped as a British TV special in 1968, it never aired but was released on video in 1995. This was Lennon's first performance without The Beatles.
