[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

Jesus Christ was a man who traveled through the land
Hard working man and brave
He said to the rich, "Give your goods to the poor."
So they laid Jesus Christ in his grave
Jesus was a man, a carpenter by hand
His followers true and brave
One dirty coward called Judas Iscariot
Has laid Jesus Christ in his grave
He went to the preacher, he went to the sheriff
Told them all the same
Sell all of your jewelry and give it to the poor
But they laid Jesus Christ in his grave
When Jesus came to town, the working folks around
Believed what he did say
The bankers and the preachers they nailed him on a cross
And they laid Jesus Christ in his grave
Poor working people, they follered him around
Sung and shouted gay
Cops and the soldiers, they nailed him in the air
And they nailed Jesus Christ in his grave.
Well the people held their breath when they heard about his death
And everybody wondered why
It was the landlord and the soldiers that he hired
That nailed Jesus Christ in the sky
This song was written in New York City
Of rich men, preachers and slaves
Jesus was to preach like he preached in Galillee
They would lay Jesus Christ in his grave
