Phil Ochs - The Ballad Of The Carpenter



Dm C Dm

Jesus was a working man

C Dm

And a hero you will hear

C Dm Am

Born in the town of Bethlehem

Dm Gm

At the turning of the year

A7 Dm

At the turning of the year



When Jesus was a little lad

Streets rang with his name

For he argued with the older men

And put them all to shame

He put them all to shame



He became a wandering journeyman

And he traveled far and wide

And he noticed how wealth and poverty

Live always side by side

Live always side by side



So he said ";Come you working men

Farmers and weavers too

If you would only stand as one

This world belongs to you

This world belongs to you";



When the rich men heard what the carpenter had done

To the Roman troops they ran

Saying put this rebel Jesus down

He's a menace to God and man

He's a menace to God and man



The commander of the occupying troops

Just laughed and then he said

";There's a cross to spare on Calvaries hill

By the weekend he'll be dead

By the weekend he'll be dead";



Now Jesus walked among the poor

For the poor were his own kind

And they'd never let them get near enough

To take him from behind

To take him from behind



So they hired one of the traders trade

And an informer was he

And he sold his brother to the butchers men

For a fistful of silver money

For a fistful of silver money



And Jesus sat in the prison cell

And they beat him and offered him bribes

To desert the cause of his fellow man
