Lyrically, it concerns a put-upon wife who shoulders the burden of family life while her feckless husband shirks his responsibilities. “Momma gets by while papa gets high,” McCartney sings, “She makes enough to raise a family.” Later, he adds: “Even though he’s complicated, she takes it in her stride / What are his silly faults compared...
