About "They Laid Jesus Christ In His Grave" by Woody Guthrie

Guthrie's stark folk lament carves a grave with bare chords and a voice like dry earth. The title's weight hangs heavy—a body laid down, a story passed on. No drums, no polish, just the raw ache of a ballad that refuses to look away from the stone.
