Jesus lived in a ramshackle shack
  with a fat New Orleans junkie
  A charismatic cholo so
  Some say he was born plain lucky
  He’d cruise the streets of Juarez
  In his low cut Eldorado
  He had oil slick hands divine command
  A brash and bold bravado
  
  Mother Mary said your time has come
  The rivers wide but can be fought and won
  For the love of God and every man
  Jesus cross the Rio Grande
  
  Jesus fell in step with a group
  of high powered Federalese
  Who set him down and formed their plan
  through a haze of cold Tecates
  Judas said now Jeez I know
  you’re prone to walk on water
  But if you swim downstream
  there’s a better chance
  that you’ll make it across the border
  
  Mother Mary said your time has come
  The rivers wide but can be fought and won
  For the love of God and every man
  Jesus cross the Rio Grande
  
  Jesus made his run on a hot
  and humid Friday night
  But his vision was blinded
  by the bright El Paso lights
  A bullet struck him down before
  he reached freedoms land
  The faithful they’re still waiting
  for the coming of their man
