Would They Love Him Down in Shreveport?

If they saw Him riding in

Long hair flying in the wind

Would they love Him down in Shreveport today

If they heard He was a Jew

And a Palestinian too

Would they love Him down in Nashville today

If they saw Him talk with ease

To the junkies, whores, and thieves

Would they love Him out in Wichita today

Would the rich man think it funny

If He said give up your money

Would they love Him up on Wall Street today

If He made the wine from water

And he cured their sons and daughters

What would the folks in Salt Lake City say

If He talked of brotherhood

As He walked their neighborhoods

Would they love Him up in Boston today

If He said love those who use you

And forgive those who abuse you

If He turned the other cheek, what would you say

Would you laugh and call Him crazy

And just send Him on his way

If Jesus came to your town today
