Said to be the last song recorded by Paul.
The last words sung in his last song are " bye -bye"

that has always been my favourite beatles song, it was kind of my theme song as a teenager... maybe subconsiously it was more than that....  |

You made me curious about the origins of the expression . I looked it up .
>>The word "ringer" dates back to 1890 and was originally horse-racing slang for a horse with a proven track record that was knowingly substituted for a less qualified, untested horse. "Ringer" is now used as slang for anything that has been tampered with or unfairly altered. The "dead" in "dead ringer" is simply an intensifier, meaning "absolutely," and since a "ringer" must resemble the thing it replaces, "dead ringer" has come to mean something indistinguishable from another thing or person.<<<
