The Beatles - The Ballad of John And Yoko

The Beatles - The Ballad of John and Yoko
A cool song dedicated to the love of John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

I do not own the rights to this song.

Lyrics:

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.

Christ you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They're gonna crucify me.

Finally made the plane into Paris,
Honey mooning down by the Seine.
Peter Brown called to say,
"You can make it O.K.,
You can get married in Gibraltar, near Spain".

Christ you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They're gonna crucify me.

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".

Christ you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They're gonna crucify me.

Saving up your money for a rainy day,
Giving all your clothes to charity.
Last night the wife said,
"Oh boy, when you're dead
You don't take nothing with you
But your soul - think!"

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".

Christ you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They're gonna crucify me.

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".

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.

I guess you know Lennon and McCartney perform on this song by themselves. Paul on drums, bass and electric guitars. John on acoustic guitars and piano. A nice Carl Perkins sort of vibe from the early, pre EMI Beatles days... before they was who they was who they was.

Somewhere is a prick named John Mitchell. Nixons attorney general.

Hope he dies. I take that back. He already did. Chief of RNC during watergate break in. And sentenced for his part. Martha Mitchell tried to warn everyone that Nixon and entire staff was in on it. She was rebuffed for 'pills and booze, but now her name is cleared. Her husband was a con and kept Lennon from re-entering the United States. Lennon was a major figure in anti Vietnam protests. Maybe there is a hell.
