The Tramp on the Street
by Hank Williams

C F
Only a tramp was Lazarus sad fate
G7 C
He who lay down at the rich man's gate
F
He begged for the crumbs from the rich man to eat
C G7 C
He was only a tramp found dead on the street
F
He was some mother's darlin' he was some mother's son
G7 C
Once he was fair and once he was young
F
Some mother rocked him her darlin' to sleep
C G7 C
But they left him to die like a tramp on the street
F
Jesus who died on Calvary's tree
G7 C
Shed His life's blood for you and for me
F
They pierced His sides His hands and His feet
C G7 C
And they left Him to die like a tramp on the street
F
He was Mary's own darlin' he was God's chosen Son
G7 C
Once He was fair and once He was young
F
Mary she rocked Him her darlin' to sleep
C G7 C
But they left Him to die like a tramp on the street
F
If Jesus should come and knock on your door
G7 C
For a place to come in or bread from your store
F
Would you welcome Him in or turn Him away
C G7 C
Then the God's would deny you on the Great Judgment Day
