Jesus Christ was a man who traveled through the land |
| [00:17.03] |
Hard working man and brave |
| [00:20.86] |
He said to the rich, "Give your goods to the poor." |
| [00:24.39] |
So they laid Jesus Christ in his grave |
| [00:30.22] |
Jesus was a man, a carpenter by hand |
| [00:33.50] |
His followers true and brave |
| [00:37.89] |
One dirty coward called Judas Iscariot |
| [00:42.24] |
Has laid Jesus Christ in his grave |
| [00:49.04] |
He went to the preacher, he went to the sheriff |
| [00:52.94] |
Told them all the same |
| [00:57.14] |
Sell all of your jewelry and give it to the poor |
| [01:00.72] |
But they laid Jesus Christ in his grave |
| [01:09.73] |
When Jesus came to town, the working folks around |
| [01:13.71] |
Believed what he did say |
| [01:17.52] |
The bankers and the preachers they nailed him on a cross |
| [01:21.78] |
And they laid Jesus Christ in his grave |
| [01:27.14] |
Poor working people, they follered him around |
| [01:31.28] |
Sung and shouted gay |
| [01:35.11] |
Cops and the soldiers, they nailed him in the air |
| [01:38.47] |
And they nailed Jesus Christ in his grave. |
| [01:54.00] |
Well the people held their breath when they heard about his death |
| [01:58.39] |
And everybody wondered why |
| [02:02.32] |
It was the landlord and the soldiers that he hired |
| [02:05.96] |
That nailed Jesus Christ in the sky |
| [02:12.94] |
This song was written in New York City |
| [02:17.11] |
Of rich men, preachers and slaves |
| [02:22.38] |
Jesus was to preach like he preached in Galillee |
| [02:26.57] |
They would lay Jesus Christ in his grave |
