Ballad of the Carpenter Phil Ochs

[Verse 1]
Jesus was a working man
And a hero you will hear
Born in the town of Bethlehem
At the turning of the year
At the turning of the year

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
So he said "Come all you working men
Farmers and weavers too
If you would only stand as one
This world belongs to you
This world belongs to you"
