Down Among the Bushes of Jerusalem - The Irish Rovers[00:00:00]

Come listen gentle Christians[00:00:08]

And you Jews and Gentiles too[00:00:10]

And all denominations[00:00:12]

A song I sing to you[00:00:14]

It's all about a young man[00:00:16]

A rebel through and through[00:00:18]

Down among the bushes of Jerusalem[00:00:21]

Jerusalem Jerusalem[00:00:25]

Down among the bushes of Jerusalem[00:00:29]

Born of honest parents and below a shining star[00:00:41]

The word went 'round the country[00:00:45]

And they came from near and far[00:00:47]

The royal family worried[00:00:50]

He might undermine their power[00:00:51]

Down among the bushes of Jerusalem[00:00:54]

They slaughtered all the children[00:00:59]

Every one that they could find[00:01:01]

Just that they be sure that[00:01:04]

They would kill the rebel child[00:01:05]

But somehow he deceived them[00:01:08]

All the soldiers fierce and wild[00:01:10]

Down among the bushes of Jerusalem[00:01:12]

Jerusalem Jerusalem[00:01:16]

Down among the bushes of Jerusalem[00:01:21]

He grew into a strapping lad[00:01:32]

And helped around the home[00:01:35]

But voices they kept calling[00:01:37]

And he was inclined to roam[00:01:39]

The losers and boozers[00:01:41]

He would count among his own[00:01:43]

Down among the bushes of Jerusalem[00:01:45]

As far as I can see you see the Pharisee did say[00:01:50]

You know your Bible fairly well[00:01:55]

You'll make a priest someday[00:01:57]

But you'd better tow the line[00:01:59]

Me boy or there'll be hell to pay[00:02:01]

Down among the bushes of Jerusalem[00:02:03]

Jerusalem Jerusalem[00:02:08]

Down among the bushes of Jerusalem[00:02:12]

He met the Mary Magdalen[00:02:24]

A lovely girl was she[00:02:26]

O look who's comin' now[00:02:28]

They said the girl of no degree[00:02:29]

I'd rather have her near to me[00:02:32]

More than your hypocrisy[00:02:34]

Down among the bushes of Jerusalem[00:02:37]

He went into the churches[00:02:42]

And he saw the shining gold[00:02:44]

And people there were starvin'[00:02:46]

Of the hunger and the cold[00:02:48]

He talked about injustice[00:02:50]

Just be careful he was told[00:02:52]

Down among the bushes of Jerusalem[00:02:55]

Jerusalem Jerusalem[00:02:59]

Down among the bushes of Jerusalem[00:03:03]

Now if you are a rebel and no Judas[00:03:32]

He did say[00:03:35]

Come burn the Roman empire down[00:03:36]

We'll change the flag today[00:03:38]

It's the human heart I'm changing[00:03:41]

This young rebel he did say[00:03:42]

Down among the bushes of Jerusalem[00:03:45]

We're taking him to Calvary[00:03:49]

It's easier you see[00:03:51]

Than try and turn the other cheek[00:03:53]

And love thine enemy[00:03:56]

We're loyal to our own crowd[00:03:58]

To our scribes and pharisee[00:04:00]

Down among the bushes of Jerusalem[00:04:02]

Jerusalem Jerusalem[00:04:06]

Down among the bushes of Jerusalem[00:04:11]

Jerusalem Jerusalem[00:04:15]

Down among the bushes of Jerusalem[00:04:19]
