The Tramp On The Street

Hank Williams

E A

Only a tramp was Lazarus sad fate

B7 E

He who lay down at the rich man's gate

A

He begged for the crumbs from the rich man to eat

E B7 E

He Was only a tramp found dead on the street.

E A

He was some mother's darlin', he was some mother's son

B7 E

Once he was fair and once he was young

A

And some mother rocked him, her darlin' to sleep

E B7 E

But they left him to die like a tramp on the street.

E A

Jesus, who died on Calvary's tree

B7 E

He shed His life's blood for you and for me

A

They pierced His side, His hands and His feet

E B7 E

And they left Him to die like a tramp on the street.

E A

He was Mary's own darlin', he was God's chosen Son

B7 E

Once He was fair and once He was young

A

Mary, she rocked Him, her darlin' to sleep

E B7 E

But they left Him to die like a tramp on the street.

E A

If Jesus should come and knock on your door

B7 E

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

A

Would you welcome Him in, or turn Him a-way

E B7 E

Then the God would de-ny you on the Great Judgement Day.
