The Ballad Of John And Yoko Lyrics By The Beatles

    john lennon
    standing in the dock at southampton
    trying to get to holland or france
    the man in the mac said you’ve got to go back
    you know they didn’t even give us a chance

    john lennon
    christ you know it ain’t easy
    you know how hard it can be
    the way things are going
    they’re gonna crucify me

    john lennon
    finally made the plane into paris
    honeymooning down by the seine
    peter brown called to say
    you can make it ok
    you can get married in gibraltar near spain

    john lennon
    christ you know it ain’t easy
    you know how hard it can be
    the way things are going
    they’re gonna crucify me

    john lennon
    drove from paris to the amsterdam hilton
    talking in our beds for a week
    the newspaper said say what you doing in bed
    i said we’re only trying to get us some peace

    john lennon
    christ you know it ain’t easy
    you know how hard it can be
    the way things are going
    they’re gonna crucify me

    john lennon
    saving up your money for a rainy day
    giving all your clothes to charity
    last night the wife said
    poor boy when you’re dead
    you don’t take nothing with you but your soul
    think

    4 john lennon
    made a lightning trip to vienna
    eating chocolate cake in a bag
    the newspaper said she’s gone to his head
    they look just like two gurus in drag

    john lennon paul mccartney
    christ you know it ain’t easy
    you know how hard it can be
    the way things are going
    they’re gonna crucify me

    5 john lennon paul mccartney
    caught the early plane back to london
    fifty acorns tied in a sack
    the men from the press said we wish you success
    it’s good to have the both of you back

    john lennon paul mccartney
    christ you know it ain’t easy
    you know how hard it can be
    the way things are going
    they’re gonna crucify me
    the way things are going
    they’re gonna crucify me
