[00:05.38]Jesus Christ was a man who traveled through the land
[00:10.18]Hard working man and brave
[00:14.42]He said to the rich, "Give your goods to the poor."
[00:18.21]So they laid Jesus Christ in his grave
[00:24.59]Yes Jesus was a man, a carpenter by hand
[00:28.96]His followers true and brave
[00:33.37]One dirty coward called Judas Iscariot
[00:37.16]Has laid poor Jesus Christ in his grave
[00:43.19]He went to the preacher, he went to the sheriff
[00:47.45]Told them all the same
[00:51.40]Sell all of your jewelry and give it to the poor"
[00:55.10]So they laid Jesus Christ in his grave
[01:05.03]When Jesus came to town, the working folks around
[01:09.19]Believed what he did say
[01:13.34]The bankers and the preachers they nailed him on a cross
[01:16.97]And they laid Jesus Christ in his grave
[01:21.99]Poor working people, they follered him around
[01:26.04]Sung and shouted gay
[01:29.68]But the cops and the soldiers, they nailed him in the air
[01:33.43]And they nailed Jesus Christ in his grave.
[01:42.36]Well the people held their breath when they heard about his death
[01:46.84]And everybody wondered why
[01:50.49]It was the landlord and the soldiers that he hired
[01:54.23]That nailed Jesus Christ in the sky
[02:00.12]This song was made in New York City
[02:04.17]Of rich men, preachers and slaves
[02:08.17]Yes, if Jesus was to preach like he preached in Galillee
[02:11.82]They would lay Jesus Christ in his grave
[02:19.52]Yes Jesus was a man, a carpenter by hand
[02:23.61]His followers true and brave
[02:27.62]One dirty coward called Judas Iscariot
[02:31.13]Has laid poor Jesus Christ in his grave
