Jesus Christ

U2

One, two, three, four 

Well Jesus was a man 
Who traveled through the land 
A hard working man and brave 
Well he said to the rich 'Give your money to the poor' 
For they layed Jesus Christ in his grave 
Hale, halelujah 
Hale, halelujah 
Hale, halelujah 
For they layed Jesus Christ is his grave 

Well he went to the preacher 
He went to the law 
And told them all the same 
He said sell all your jewelery and give it to the poor 
For they layed Jesus Christ in his grave 
Hale, halelujah 
Hale, halelujah 
Hale, halelujah 
For they layed Jesus Christ in his grave 

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 
For they layed Jesus Christ in his grave 

And [hard] working people 
They followed him around 
They sung and shouted gay 
Well the cops and the soldiers 
They nailed him in the head 
And they layed Jesus Christ in his grave 
Oh, hale, halelujah 
Hale, halelujah 
Hale, halelujah 
For they layed Jesus Christ in his grave 

Hale, halelujah 
Hale, halelujah 
Hale, halelujah 
For they layed Jesus Christ in his grave 

Well this song was written in New York City 
A rich man, preacher and slave 
Well if Jesus was to preach while he preached in Galilee 
They would lay Jesus Christ in his grave 
One, two, three, four! 

Hale, halelujah 
Hale, halelujah 
Hale, halelujah 
For they layed Jesus Christ in his grave 
Hale, halelujah 
Hale, halelujah 
Hale, halelujah 
For they layed Jesus Christ in his grave
