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 men
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
Gave it to 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 send him on his way
If he walked right
Into your town today
Eles O Amariam em Shreveport?
Se eles o vissem passando
Cabelo longo voando ao vento
Eles o amariam
Em Shreveport hoje?
Se soubessem que ele era judeu
E também palestino
Eles o amariam
Em Nashville hoje?
Se o vissem
Conversando tranquilo
Com os viciados
Prostitutas e ladrões
Eles o amariam
Em Wichita hoje?
Os ricos
Achariam engraçado
Se ele dissesse
Desista do seu dinheiro
Eles o amariam
Na Wall Street hoje?
Se ele fizesse
O vinho da água
E desse aos filhos
E filhas deles
O que diria o povo
Em Salt Lake City?
Se ele falasse
Sobre irmandade
Enquanto caminhava
Pelos bairros deles
Eles o amariam
Em Boston hoje?
Se ele dissesse
Ame aqueles que te usam
E perdoe
Aqueles que te maltratam
Se ele virasse
A outra face
O que você diria?
Você riria
E o chamaria de louco
E o mandaria embora
Se ele entrasse
Na sua cidade hoje?
