Well Jesus was a man

Who travelled through the land

A hard working man and brave

Well He said to the rich

Give your money to the poor

Well they laid Jesus Christ in His grave

Chorus

Halle, hallelujah

Halle, hallelujah

Halle, hallelujah

Well they laid Jesus Christ in His grave

Well He went to the preacher

He went to them all

He told them all the same

He said sell all your jewellery

And give it to the poor

Well they laid Jesus Christ in His grave

Chorus

When Jesus came to town

All the working fools around

Believed what he did say

Well, the bankers and the preachers

They nailed him on a cross

And they laid Jesus Christ in His grave

And fair working people

They followed him around

They sung and shouted the day

Well the cops and the soldiers

They nailed him in the air

Well they laid Jesus Christ in His grave, woah

Chorus x2

Well this song was written

In New York city

By a rich man

A preacher, and a slave

Well if Jesus was to preach

What he preached at Galilee

They would lay Jesus Christ in His Grave

Chorus x2
