lyrics

BARABBAS IN PRISON

G Barabbas that’s my name, A# C A# C
G Barabbas son of shame, A# C A# C
G Is the meaning I suppose; A# C A# C
G I’ m no better than the best, A# CA# C
G And whether worse than the rest A# CA# C
G Of my fellow-men, who knows? A# CA# C
X2
A I was once, to say it in brief, C
A A highwayman, a robber chief, C
A In the open light of day. C
A So much I am free to confess; C
A But all men, more or less, C
A Are robbers in their own way. C
X2
G From my caverns in the crags, A# C A# C
G From my lair of leaves and flags, A# C A# C
G I could see like ants below, A# C A# C
G The camels with their load A# C A# C
G Of merchandise, on the road A# C A# C
G That led to Jericho. A# C A# C
X2
A And I struck them unaware, C
A As an eagle from the air C
A Drops down upon bird or beast; C
A And I had my heart’s desire C
A Of the merchants of Sidon and Tyre, C
A And Damascus and the East. C
X2
G But it is not for that I fear; A# C A# C
G It is not for that I am here A# C A# C
G In these fetters bound; A# C A# C
G Sedition is the word A# C A# C
G That Pontius Pilate heard, A# C A# C
G And he dislikes the sound. A# C A# C
X2
A What you think, would he care C
A For a Jew slain here or there, C
A Or a plundered caravan? C
A But Caesar! _ah that is a crime, C
A To the uttermost end of time C
A Shall not be forgotten to man C
X2 G.
