Verse

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 a cross

And they laid Jesus Christ in his grave

Now, the working people, follered him around

Sing and shouted "Gay"

But the Cops and the soldiers, nailed him in the air

And they laid 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 made in New York City

Of rich mans, and preachers, and slaves

If Jesus was to preach like he preached in Galillee

They would lay Jesus Christ in his grave

Chorus

Yes, Jesus was a man, and a carpenter by hand

His followers true and brave

One dirty coward called Judas Iscariot

Has laid poor Jesus in his grave
