歌词
Jesus Christ was a man who traveled through the land
A hard-working man and brave
He said to the rich, "Give your money to the poor,"
But 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 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 the people held their breath when they heard about his death
Everybody wondered why
It was the big landlord and the soldiers that they hired
To nail Jesus
Christ in the sky
This song was written in
New York City
Of rich man, preacher, and slave
If Jesus was to preach what
He preached in
Galilee, They would lay poor
Jesus in His grave.
