Jesus Christ was a man who travelled through the landA hard-working man and braveHe said to the rich, "Give your money to the poor,"But they laid Jesus Christ in His graveJesus 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 sheriffHe told them all the same"Sell all of your jewellery and give it to the poor,"And they laid Jesus Christ in His grave.When Jesus come to town, all the working folks aroundBelieved what he did sayBut the bankers and the preachers, they nailed Him on the cross,And they laid Jesus Christ in his grave.And the people held their breath when they heard about his deathEverybody wondered whyIt was the big landlord and the soldiers that they hiredTo nail Jesus Christ in the skyThis song was written in New York CityOf rich man, preacher, and slaveIf Jesus was to preach what He preached in Galilee,They would lay poor Jesus in His grave.
