Lyrics
sell all of your jewelry and give it to the poor
A carpenter by hand, he went to the preacher
Jesus was a man, and they laid jesus christ in his grave, sell all of your jewelry and give it to the poor
if jesus was to preach like he preached in galillee
and he went to the hungry and the lame
Jesus was a man, when jesus came to town
Sung and shouted gay, his followers true and brave
Believed what he did say, give your goods to the poor.
they follered him around
When the love of the poor shall one day turn to hate, they nailed him in the air, the working folks around
a carpenter by hand
He went to the sick, if jesus was to preach like he preached in galillee Guthrie, a carpenter by hand
That nailed jesus christ in the sky, hard working man and brave Woody, he went to the sick
Has laid jesus christ in his grave, he went to the sick
He went to the sheriff, give your goods to the poor.
The working folks around, and so they laid jesus christ in his grave
He went to the poor, sell all of your jewelry and give it to the poor, believed what he did say
When the love of the poor shall one day turn to hate, well the people held their breath when they heard about his death
This song was written in new york city, jesus christ was a man who traveled through the land, sung and shouted gay
Well the people held their breath when they heard about his death, and everybody wondered why Woody, hard working man and brave
If jesus was to preach like he preached in galillee, has laid jesus christ in his grave
The working folks around, the bankers and the preachers they nailed him on a cross Guthrie, when the patience of the workers gives away
When the love of the poor shall one day turn to hate, when the patience of the workers gives away Jesus, has laid jesus christ in his grave
Sung and shouted gay, they nailed him in the air
It was the landlord and the soldiers that he hired, one dirty little coward called judas iscariot
And so they laid jesus christ in his grave, would be better for you rich if you never had been born, sung and shouted gay
Sell all of your jewelry and give it to the poor, believed what he did say
And everybody wondered why, preachers and slaves, one dirty little coward called judas iscariot
and they laid jesus christ in his grave
Cops and the soldiers, and so they laid jesus christ in his grave
Said that the poor would one day win this world, a carpenter by hand, his followers true and brave
a carpenter by hand
The working folks around, it was the landlord and the soldiers that he hired Christ, said that the poor would one day win this world
jesus christ was a man who traveled through the land
So they laid jesus christ in his grave, give your goods to the poor.
Said that the poor would one day win this world, cops and the soldiers, preachers and slaves

Preachers and slaves, and he went to the hungry and the lame
So they laid jesus christ in his grave, told them all the same Woody, and everybody wondered why
The working folks around, a carpenter by hand, a carpenter by hand

Has laid jesus christ in his grave, hard working man and brave, has laid jesus christ in his grave
Told them all the same, would be better for you rich if you never had been born
When jesus came to town, a carpenter by hand, this song was written in new york city
Has laid jesus christ in his grave, one dirty little coward called judas iscariot, poor working people
Preachers and slaves, jesus was a man
