Welcome to the fourth in the series of Challenges.
Between October 1962 and May 1970, The Beatles released 24 singles, 13 EPs, 13 Albums, with a total of 293 tracks.
NATURE IN LYRICS CHALLENGE
Below is an alphabetical list of nature-related words which appear in officially released Beatles songs.
The Challenge is to find which word appears in which song, or songs.
Hints/clues:
Some words appear in more than one song. In these cases, the number of songs in which the word appears is shown in [x].
Some songs contain more than one of the words on the list. In these cases, you need to find each word and post each answer in a separate post.
No "live" recording; BBC sessions; Polydor records; bootlegs; unreleased tracks.
Rules:
Please, no googling, wiki, social media, iplayer, youtube, personal record collection [e.g. album sleeves] in search of the answers.
You may submit one answer for one word in one song per post - not two or more songs where the same word appears - and can only post one answer per day.
Entries for Saturday 13 April, and each subsequent night, can be posted between 11pm and midnight. Results, with the number of answers for each word still to be found, will then be posted.
The list of nature-related words appears in a separate post below:
Good luck.

OK. The songs on Polydor records were as follows: My Bonny; The Saints; Why; Cry For A Shadow; Sweet Georgia Brown; Nobody`s Child; Ain`t She Sweet; and If You Love Me Baby.
I excluded Polydor records because if I allowed My Bonny and Ain`t She Sweet [which are quite well-known], I`d have to allow the others which are not as well known; plus they were not originally issued as by The Beatles, but were credited only "with The Beatles" when re-released to cash-in.
I know I allowed Polydor records in a previous Challenge, but with so many answers to find in this one, decided to leave them out.
Sorry if anyone had a Polydor song lined up, but there are still plenty more to go for.
btw, although only running for six days, this Challenge has already attracted over 230 views, so thank you for making it interesting and getting this level of views.

I must just say that out of all the Challenges so far, this one has got to be the most competitive - in a friendly way - trying to come up with an answer, making lists, and getting in before anyone else posts
I hope you are all finding it fun.
