Would They Love Him Down In Shreveport

(album: Bobbie Sue - 1982)

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
