Christmastime

Christmastime blues, king of the jews Blues
If you only knew what’s gonna happen to you
Nailed to the cross, by the big boss
Everyone just standin’ ‘round at a complete loss
The baby that’s before us will be joining in a chorus of the
Christmastime Blues

Christmastime Blues, poor little dude
A manger for a cradle-bed when you are brand new
Star in the sky, shines in the eyes
Of the three old wise men from the east who drop by
Besides the gifts they bring these wise men gonna sing a bit of
Christmastime Blues

Christmastime Blues, nothin’ to lose
Not a single clue about what you’re here to do
Dad’s got a plan, but he’s not a man
He’s an ancient idea from way out in Iran
They marked you as a prophet there’s no way you can stop
them ol’ Christmastime Blues

Christmastime Blues, don’t get to choose
Stay out of Jerusalem man you bound to lose
Passover time, committin’ crimes
With the 12 apostles and a bunch of red wine
But you will be betrayed so there you gonna stay with the
Christmastime Blues

Christmastime Blues, born without shoes
Dad above sure knows that you’ll be payin’ your dues
Ready or not to show what you got
Kill the Roman Empire from inside with slow rot
You’ll know it when they gotta sing a whole cantata called the
Christmastime Blues

Christmastime blues, king of the jews
If you only knew what’s gonna happen to you
