Jesus Christ was a man that traveled through the land Hard working man and brave He said to the rich, "Give your goods to the poor" So they laid Jesus Christ in His grave Yes, Jesus was a man, a carpenter by hand His followers true and brave One dirty coward called Judas Iscariot Laid poor Jesus in His grave He went to the preacher, He went to the sheriff Told them all the same "Sell all of your jewelry and give it to the poor" So they laid Jesus Christ in His grave When Jesus come to town, all the working folks around Believed what he did say The bankers and the preachers, they nailed Him on the cross And they laid Jesus Christ in his grave And the working people followed him around Singing and shouting gay But the cops and soldiers nailed him in the air And they laid Jesus Christ in his grave Well the people held their breath when they heard about his death Everybody wondered why It was the landlord and the soldiers that they hired To nail Jesus Christ in the sky This song was made in New York City Of rich man and preachers, and slaves If Jesus was to preach like He preached in Galillee They would lay Jesus Christ in His grave Yes, Jesus was a man and a carpenter by hand His followers true and brave One dirty coward called Judas Iscariot As laid poor Jesus in His grave

Your cheatin' heart Will make you weep You'll cry and cry And try to sleep But sleep won't come The whole night through Your cheatin' heart will tell on you... When tears come down Like falling rain You'll toss around And call my name You'll walk the floor The way I do Your cheatin' heart will tell on you... Your cheatin' heart Will pine some day And crave the love You threw away The time will come When you'll be blue Your cheatin' heart will tell on you... When tears come down Like falling rain You'll toss around And call my name You'll walk the floor The way I do Your cheatin' heart will tell on you...

I wandered so aimless, life filled with sin I wouldn't let my Dear Savior in Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night Praise the Lord I saw the light I saw the light, I saw the light No more darkness, no more night Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight Praise the Lord, I saw the light Just like a blind man I wandered along Worries and fears I claimed for my own Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight Praise the Lord - I saw the light I was a fool to wander and stray Straight is the gate and narrow the way Now I have traded the wrong for the right Praise the Lord, I saw the light

Say hey, good lookin' - what ya got cookin'? How's about cooking somethin' up with me? Hey, sweet baby - don't you think maybe We can find us a brand new recipe? I got a hot rod Ford, and a two dollar bill And I know a spot right over the hill There's soda pop and the dancing's free So if you wanna have fun, come along with me Say hey, good lookin' - what ya got cookin'? How's about cooking somethin' up with me? I'm free and ready, so we can go steady. How's about saving all your time for me? No more lookin' - I know I been cookin' Hows about keepin' steady company? I'm gonna throw my date book over the fence And buy me one for five or ten cents I'll keep it till it's covered with age Cause I'm writin' your name down on every page Say hey, good lookin' - what ya got cookin'? How's about cooking somethin' up with me?
