Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ was a man who traveled through the land

A hard working man and brave

He said to the rich Give your goods to the poor

So they laid Jesus Christ in His grave

Yes

Jesus was a man a carpenter by hand

His followers true and brave

One dirty coward called Judas Iscariot

Has laid for Jesus in His Grave

He went to the preacher He went to the sheriff

He told them all the same

Sell all of your jewelry and give it to the poor

And they laid Jesus Christ in His grave

When Jesus come to town all the working folks around

Believed what he did say

But the bankers and the preachers they nailed Him on the cross

And they laid Jesus Christ in his grave

And they laid Jesus Christ in His grave

Well the people held their breath when they heard about his death

Everybody wondered why

It was the landlord and the soldiers that they hired

To nail Jesus Christ in the sky

This song was made in New York City

Of rich man preachers and slaves

If Jesus was to preach what He preached in Galilee

They would 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 poor Jesus in His Grave
