This Is Nazareth
Johnny Cash
The noises you hear in the background
Are the different little shops
Here in the market place in Nazareth
There's a man beating out some
Pans with a hammer there
You know looking at Nazareth especially
In this part of Nazareth
You'd be inclined to feel
Like Nathaniel did when
He said to Phillip in the Bible
Can there be any good thing
Ever come from Nazareth
And John the Babtist preaching repentance
Down on the Jordan River
Which we'll be seeing later on today
Said there's one coming after me
The latchet of whose shoes
I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose
And the prophets had said referring
To this place right here
He shall be called a Nazarene
