Download mp3 - Jesus Christ : U2
Jesus
was a man who travelled through the land
A hard working man and brave
Well he said to the rich: give your money to the poor
Well they laid Jesus Christ in his grave
Halle -
hallelujah
Halle - hallelujah
Halle - hallelujah
Well they laid Jesus Christ in his grave
Well he
went to the preacher - he went to the law
He told them all the same
He said: sell all your jewellery and give it to the poor
But they laid Jesus Christ in his grave
Halle -
hallelujah [etc repeated]
When Jesus
came to town, all the working folks around
Believed what he did say
Well the bankers and the preachers, they nailed him on a cross
And they laid Jesus Christ in his grave
And poor
working people, they followed him around
They sung and shouted gay
Well the cops and the soldiers, they nailed him in the air
And they laid Jesus Christ in his grave
Halle -
hallelujah [etc repeated twice]
Well this
song was written in New York City
Of rich man, preacher and slave
Well if Jesus was to preach what he preached in Galilee
They would lay Jesus Christ in his grave
Halle -
hallelujah [etc repeated twice]
