woody guthrie - jesus christ (they laid jesus christ in his grave) lyrics

Loading...

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 g-y;
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
