Jesus Christ was a man that 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
Yes Jesus was a man, a carpenter by hand
His followers true and brave
One dirty coward called Judas Iscariot
Has laid poor Jesus 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,"
So they laid Jesus Christ in His grave.
When Jesus come to town, the working folks around
Believed what he did say
The bankers and the preachers, they nailed Him on the cross,
And they laid Jesus Christ in his grave.
Now the working people followed him around
Singing and shouted gay,
But the cops and soldiers nailed Him in the air,
And they lay Jesus Christ in his grave.
Well the people held their breath when they heard about his death
Everybody wondered why
It was the landlord and the soldiers that he hired
That nailed Jesus Christ in the sky.
This song was written in New York City
Of rich men and preachers and and slave
If Jesus was to preach what He preached in Galilee,
They would lay Jesus Christ in His grave.
