The Tramp On The Street
Hank Williams
[E]Only a tramp was Lazarus sad [A]fate
[B7]He who lay down at the rich man's [E]gate
He begged for the crumbs from the rich man to [A]eat
He Was only a [E]tramp found [B7]dead on the [E]street.
[E]He was some mother's darlin', he was some mother's [A]son
[B7]Once he was fair and once he was [E]young
And some mother rocked him, her darlin' to [A]sleep
But they left him to [E]die like a [B7]tramp on the [E]street.
[E]Jesus, who died on Calvary's [A]tree
[B7]He shed His life's blood for you and for [E]me
They pierced His side, His hands and His [A]feet
And they left Him to [E]die like a [B7]tramp on the [E]street.
[E]He was Mary's own darlin', he was God's chosen [A]Son
[B7]Once He was fair and once He was [E]young
Mary, she rocked Him, her darlin' to [A]sleep
But they left Him to [E]die like a [B7]tramp on the [E]street.
[E]If Jesus should come and knock on your [A]door
[B7]For a place to come in, or bread from your [E]store
Would you welcome Him in, or turn Him a-[A]way
Then the God would de-[E]ny you on the Great [B7]Judgement [E]Day.
