 Rate Tramp On The Street
Artist : Ramblin` Jack Elliot
Song : Tramp On The Street
Only a tramp was Lazarus that day,
He who lay
down by the rich man's gate.
Well, he begged
for some crumbs from the rich man to eat
But
they left him to die like a ramp on the
street.
chorus
He was some mother's
darlin', he was some mother's son;
Once he was
fair and once he was young,
And some mother
rocked him, a little darlin' to sleep,
But
they left him to die like a tramp on the
street.
If Jesus should come and knock
on your door,
Would you let Him come in and
pick from your store?
Would you turn Him away,
with nothing to eat?
Would you leave Him to die
like a tramp on the street?
second
chorus
He was Mary's own darlin', he was God's
chosen son;
Once He was fair and once he was
young,
And Mary, she rocked Him, a little
darlin' to sleep,
But they left him to die
like a tramp on the street.
Jesus, He
died on Calvary's peak,
Nails in His hands,
Lord, nails in His feet,
Gave His life's blood
for you and for me,
But they left Him to die
like a tramp on the street.
