Can anyone help? it goes something like

"Jesus Christ was a man who travelled through the land
A hard working man and brave
He told all the rich they should give to the poor
So they laid Jesus Christ in his grave"

and goes to the tune of "Jesse James was a lad who killed many a man"

I'm looking for the words of the first verse, and the author and source, for an essay on liberation theology.

http://www.woodyguthrie.org/Lyrics/Jesus_Christ.htm - most "official" probably?

Don't know if these sources are official enough but may give you a place to start!!
