Testo Jesus Christ - Cisco Houston
Testo della canzone Jesus Christ (Cisco Houston), tratta dall'album Cisco Houston Sings Songs
Jesus Christ was a man who traveled through the land
A hard working man and brave
He said to the rich, "Give your goods to the poor"
But 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 preacher, he went to the sheriff
He told them all the same
Sell all your jewelry and give it to the poor
But they laid Jesus Christ in his grave
When Jesus come to town, all 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
The poor working people, they followed him around
They sung and they shouted gay
The cops and the soldiers, they 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
And everybody wondered why
It was the landlord and the soldiers that he hired
To nail Jesus Christ in the sky
This song was written in New York City
Of rich man, preacher, and slave
But if Jesus was to preach like he preached at Galilee
They would lay Jesus Christ in his grave
