lyrics

One dirty coward called Judas
Lay Jesus in His grave

Jesus Christ was a man
Traveled through the land
Hard working man and brave
He said to the rich,
"Give your goods to the poor"
They lay Jesus Christ in His grave

Jesus was a man
Carpenter by hand
Followers true and brave
One dirty coward called Judas
Lay Jesus Christ in His grave

When Jesus came to town
All the working folks around
Believed what He did say
The bankers and the preachers
They nailed Him to the cross
They lay Jesus Christ in His grave

Jesus was a man
Carpenter by hand
Followers true and brave
One dirty coward called Judas
Lay Jesus Christ in His grave

Well the people held their breath
When they heard about his death
Everyone wondered why
It was the landlord and the soldiers
And the people that they hired
To nail Jesus Christ in the sky

Jesus was a man
Carpenter by hand
Followers true and brave
One dirty coward called Judas
Lay Jesus Christ in His grave

This song was made in New York City
Of rich man and preachers and slaves
If Jesus was to preach
Like He preached in Galilee
They would lay Jesus Christ in His grave
Lay Jesus Christ in His grave
