^GJesus was a man, ^EmTraveled through the land

^CHardworking man and brav^De. ^GHe said to the rich,

^Em'Give your money to the poor' But they ^Claid Jesus ^DChrist in his g^Grave.

-----------

^GJesus was a man, ^EmA carpenter by hand

^CHis followers were true and brav^De. ^GBut that dirty little coward,

^EmNamed Judas Iscarot, Has ^Claid Jesus C^Dhrist in his gra^Gve.

-----------

^GHe went to the preacher, ^EmHe went to the sheriff

^CAnd he told them all the sa^Dme ^GSell all your jewelry,

^EmAnd give it to the poor They l^Caid Jesus C^Dhrist in his gra^Gve.

-----------

^GWhen Jesus came to town, ^EmAll the working folk around

^CBelieved what he did sa^Dy. ^GBut the bankers and the preachers,

^EmThey nailed him on the cross. They l^Caid Jesus C^Dhrist in his gra^Gve.

-----------

^GThe People held their breath ^Emwhen they heard about his death.

^CAnd everybody wondered ^D'Why?' ^GIt was the bitter land war,

^EmAnd the soldiers they hired, To na^Cil Jesus Chr^Dist to the sky^G

----------

^GThis song was written ^Emin New York City.

^CA rich man, preacher, and slav^De. ^GIf Jesus was to preach here,

^EmWould he preach in Galilee? Or would we l^Cay Jesus Chr^Dist in his grav^Ge?

Or would we l^Cay Jesus Chr^Dist in his grav^Ge?
