A Tramp on the Street Lyrics

only a tramp was lazarus sad [g] fate

He who lay do-[a7] wn at the rich mans [d] gate
He begged for the crumbs from the rich man to [g] eat

He was only a [d] tramp found [a7] dead on the [d] street.[d] he was some mothers darlin, he was some mothers [g] son

Once he was [a7] fair and once he was [d] young

And some mother rocked him, her darlin to [g] sleep

But they left him to [d] die like a [a7] tramp on the [d] street.jesus, he died on calvarys tree
He shed his lifes blood for you and for me

They pierced his side and then his feet

And they left him to die like a tramp on the street.he was marys own darlin, he was gods chosen son

Once he was fair and once he was young
Mary, she rocked him, her darlin to sleep

But they left him to die like a tramp on the street. if jesus should come and knock on your door

For a place to come in, or bread from your store

Would you welcome him in, or turn him away

Then the gods would deny you on the great judgement day.
