Some say He was an outlaw That He roamed across the land With a band of unschooled ruffians And few old fishermen No one knew just where He came from Or exactly what He'd done But they said it must be something bad That kept Him on the run Said He was an outlaw Said He was an outlaw Some say He was a poet That He'd stand upon the hill And His voice could calm an angry crowd And make the waves stand still That He spoke in many parables That few could understand But the people sat for hours Just to listen to this man They said He was an outlaw They said He was an outlaw They said He was an outlaw They said He was an outlaw Some say He was a sorcerer
A man of mystery He could walk upon the water He could make a blind man see That He conjured wine at weddings And did tricks with fish and bread He talked of being born again And raised people from the dead They said He was an outlaw They said He was an outlaw Some say a politician Who spoke of being free He was followed by the ma**es On the shores of Galilee He spoke out against corruption And He bowed to no decree And they feared His strength and power So they nailed Him to a tree Said He was an outlaw Said He was an outlaw Said He was an outlaw Said He was an outlaw Said He was an outlaw Said He was an outlaw
