Only a tramp was Lazzrez by fate he who laid down at the rich man's gate
|
He begged for the crumbs from the rich man to eat
|
He was only a tramp found dead on the street
|
He was some mother's darling he was some mother's son
|
Once he was fair and once he was young
|
Some mother rocked him her darling to sleep
|
He was only a tramp found dead on the street
|
Jesus who died on Calvary's tree shed His life's blood for you and for me
|
They pierced His side His hands and His feet
|
Then they left Him to die like a tramp on the street
|
[ harmonica ]
|
If Jesus should come and knock at your door
|
For a place to come in or bread from your store
|
Would you welcome Him in or turn Him away
|
Oh God would reward you on that great judgement day
|
He was Mary's own darling He was God's chosen son
|
Once He was fair and once He was young
|
Mary she rocked Him her darling to sleep
|
But they left Him to die like a tramp on the street
|
