"Yer Blues" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, from their 1968 double album The Beatles (also known as "the White Album"). Though credited to Lennon–McCartney, the song was written and composed by John Lennon[3][4] during the Beatles' retreat in Rishikesh, India. The song is a parody of blues music, specifically English imitators of blues.
