on the road oh they're always soldiers
on the road but then my arms and my legs

Tiberius and you have nothing to report
why I didn't say that come come tell us
me come Knights and tell us the news
what if I were to tell you that a key
had appeared in Israel King did you see
em no I I didn't see him but one of his
followers a man called John told me that
his master would soon proclaim himself
king of the Jews are you sure he's as
truly well I believe this man John he
spoke with conviction he told me that
his mouth had gathered a multitude
around him and that they called him the
Messiah
speak of a king a messiah who is he
how do men call him why he's called.
Jesus the son of Joseph the Galilean so
back to our name as though we all hadn't
heard of man maybe you don't know the
man I mean but I do a carpenter from.
Nazareth

hell they say he's created a great stir
among the people of Galilee a trickster
a magician a preaching carpenter who
breaks the laws of the Sabbath earth
that his follower John says that he's
well learning in the law impossible I'd
like nothing better than to question him
maybe you'll have the chance John said
he would pass this way I hope so hey do
you believe in this man Jesus why
because well he has the multitude with
him
