Jesus Christ
TTTO Jesse James


Jesus Christ was a man, an honest working man,
A carpenter true and brave
He told all the rich to give their money to the poor,
So they laid Jesus Christ in his grave.

Chorus:
	Jesus had no wife to mourn for his life,
	And he needed a bath and a shave,
	But that foe of the proletariat, Judas Iscariot,
	Laid Jesus Christ in his grave.

Born in 29 B.C. in a barn in Galilee,
Bathed in his unwed mother's tears,
He fought the ruling classes
And preached the Gospel to the masses,
And predated Marx by 1800 years.

Judas was the guy, the lousy labor spy,
A stoolie for the Roman boss.
He ate Jesus' body and he drank Jesus' blood,
And he nailed Jesus Christ to the cross.

With thieves on either side, Jesus Christ was crucified,
And tear's filled Mary's eyes.
But his last words to you and me, from that hill on Calvary,
Were, "Don't pray for me--ORGANIZE!"

((optional verse for Trotskyites))
When he was planted in the ground,
His followers gathered 'round
To spread the gospel by the sword and Cannon,
But his following today
Is as corrupt in every way
As the party of Brezhnev and Kosygin
