| Lyrics: | JESUS CHRIST
(Woody Guthrie)
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 little coward called Judas Iscariot
Has laid Jesus Christ in his grave
He went to the sick, he went to the poor,
And he
went to the hungry and the lame;
Said that the poor would one day win this world,
And so
they 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.
When the love of the
poor shall one day turn to hate.
When the patience of the workers gives away
"Would be
better for you rich if you never had been born"
So they laid Jesus Christ in his
grave.
This song was written in New York City
Of rich men, preachers and
slaves
Yes, if Jesus was to preach like he preached in Galillee,
They would lay Jesus
Christ in his grave.
