The Ballad Of John And Yoko - Past Masters Songtext
von The Beatles

Standing in the dock at Southampton
Tryna 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 goin'
They're gonna crucify me

Finally made the plane into Paris
Honeymoonin′ down by the Seine
Peter Brown called to say: "You can make it ok
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 goin'
They′re gonna crucify me


Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton
Talkin' in our beds for a week
The newspeople said: "Say what′re you doin' in bed?"
I said: "We′re only try to get us some peace"

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

Savin′ up your money for a rainy day
Givin' all your clothes to charity
Last night the wife said: "Oh, boy when you′re dead
You don't take nothin′ with you, but your soul, think"

Made a lightnin' trip to Vienna
Eatin′ chocolate cake in a bag
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 goin′
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 goin'
They′re gonna to crucify me

The way things are goin'
They′re gonna to crucify me
