    		The song I'm so tired on side two of 'the white album' "mentions famed English author and explorer Sir Walter Raleigh by name in an ironic context, calling him a "stupid get" for bringing the tobacco plant to England ("get" being a Liverpudlian variation of "git", meaning "idiot")."

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27m_So_Tired

    "I'm so tired, I'm feeling so upset
    Although I'm so tired, I'll have another cigarette
    and curse Sir Walter Raleigh
    He was such a stupid get."
