44 Years Ago

John and Yoko tied the knot in Gibralter... after Honeymooning "Down by the Seine"  Here's a decent clip-


The Song:

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 going to crucify me 

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" 

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

Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton 
Talking in our beds for a week 
The newspapers 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 going to 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 
Cating chocolate cake in a bag 
The newspapers 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 going to crucify me 

Caught an 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 going to crucify me 
The way things are going 
They're going to crucify me
