lyrics

Jesus Christ, Union Man

Jesus Christ is a union man
He worked so hard they put a hole in his hand
At his carpenter shop he never talked loud
When he swung his hammer he made his daddy proud
He spoke in a tounge we all could understand
Cause Jesus Christ is a union man

Jesus Christ is a union man
When it came time to fish he had a pole in his hand
He read his bible all night long
The words he said came out like songs
He never took a bribe he always took a stand
Cause Jesus Christ is a union man

Now the devil is a liar He’s a no good thief
He’s in with the mayor and the chief of police
He schemes and he cheats all night and day
He always takes a short cut and he never pays
On the Highway to Hell there’s always a traffic jame
Cause the road wasn’t built by a union man

Now I’m talking to all you butchers and all you railroad men
All you screenwriters with your fountain pens
Maybe you’re in Detroit building cars
Or working on a rocket ship to Mars
On the banks of marble a new sign will stand
That says Jesus Christ is a union man
