[00:04.60]Jesus Christ was a man who traveled through the land
[00:09.50]Hard working man and brave
[00:13.73]He said to the rich, "Give your goods to the poor."
[00:17.52]So they laid Jesus Christ in his grave
[00:23.68]Yes Jesus was a man, a carpenter by hand
[00:28.19]His followers true and brave
[00:32.59]One dirty coward called Judas Iscariot
[00:36.47]Has laid poor Jesus Christ in his grave
[00:42.06]He went to the preacher, he went to the sheriff
[00:46.87]Told them all the same
[00:51.00]Sell all of your jewelry and give it to the poor
[00:54.62]So they laid Jesus Christ in his grave
[01:03.75]When Jesus came to town, the working folks around
[01:08.50]Believed what he did say
[01:12.73]The bankers and the preachers they nailed him on a cross
[01:16.00]And they laid Jesus Christ in his grave
[01:21.02]Poor working people, they follered him around
[01:25.45]Sung and shouted gay
[01:29.34]But the cops and the soldiers, they nailed him in the air
[01:33.33]And they nailed Jesus Christ in his grave.
[01:41.69]Well the people held their breath when they heard about his death
[01:45.86]And everybody wondered why
[01:49.94]It was the landlord and the soldiers that he hired
[01:53.72]That nailed Jesus Christ in the sky
[01:59.17]This song was made in New York City
[02:03.59]Of rich men, preachers and slaves
[02:07.48]Yes, if Jesus was to preach like he preached in Galillee
[02:11.37]They would lay Jesus Christ in his grave
[02:18.50]Yes Jesus was a man, a carpenter by hand
[02:23.22]His followers true and brave
[02:26.90]One dirty coward called Judas Iscariot
[02:30.64]Has laid poor Jesus Christ in his grave
