[00:12.52]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
