Jesus Christ was a manWho traveled through the landA hard working man and braveHe said to the rich,"Give your goods to the poor."But they laid Jesus Christ in his grave.Jesus was a man, a carpenter by handHis followers true and braveOne dirty little coward called Judas IscariotHas laid Jesus Christ in his graveHe went to the preacher,He went to the sheriff,Told them all the same;Sell all of your jewelryAnd give it to the Poor,But they laid Jesus Christ in his grave.When Jesus came to town,All the working folks around,Believed what he did say;The bankers and the preachersThey nailed him on a cross,And they laid Jesus Christ in his grave.Letras de cancionesThe poor working people,They followed him around,They sung and shouted gay;Cops and the soldiers,They nailed him in the air,And they laid Jesus Christ in his grave.Well the people held their breathWhen they heard about his death,And everybody wondered why;It was the landlordAnd the soldiers that he hired.That nailed Jesus Christ in the sky.This song was written in New York CityOf rich men, preachers and slavesBut if Jesus was to preachLike he preached in Galillee,They would lay Jesus Christ in his grave.
