Jesus Christ - Woody Guthrie
Jesus Christ, written and performed by Woody Guthrie, 1940.
Jesus Christ
WOODY GUTHRIE
Jesus Christ was a man who traveled through the land
A carpenter true 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
Carpenter true and brave
And a dirty little coward called Judas Iscariot
Has laid Jesus Christ in His Grave.
The people of the land took Jesus by the hand
They followed him far and wide.
“I come not to bring you peace but a sword.”
So they killed Jesus Christ on the sly.
He went to the preacher, He went to the sheriff
He told them all the same
"Sell all of your jewelry and give it to the poor,"
And they laid Jesus Christ in His grave.
When Jesus come to town, all the working folks around
Believed what he did say
But the bankers and the preachers, they nailed Him on the cross,
And they laid Jesus Christ in his grave.
And the people held their breath when they heard about his death
Everybody wondered why
It was the big landlord and the soldiers that they hired
To nail Jesus Christ in the sky
This song was written in New York City
Of rich man, preacher, and slave
If Jesus was to preach what He preached in Galilee,
They would lay poor Jesus in His grave.
