The Tramp on the Street
Grady Cole, Hazel Cole
[Verse 1]
Only a tramp was Lazarus' sad fate
He who lay 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
[Chorus]
He was some mother's darlin', He was some mother's son
Once He was fair and once He was young
Some mother rocked Him, her darlin' to sleep
But they left Him to die like a tramp on the street
[Verse 2]
Jesus who died on Calvary's tree
Shed His life's blood for you and for me
They pierced His sides, His hands and His feet
Then they left Him to die like a tramp on the street
[Chorus]
He was Mary's own darlin', He was God's chosen Son
Once He was fair and once He was young
Mary, she rocked Him, her darlin' to sleep
But they left Him to die like a tramp on the street
