Only a tramp was Lazarus sad fate |
|
He who lay down at the rich mans gate |
|
He begged for the crumbs from the rich man to eat |
|
He was only a tramp found dead on the street. |
|
He was some mothers darlin, he was some mothers son |
|
Once he was fair and once he was young |
|
And some mother rocked him, her darlin to sleep |
|
But they left him to die like a tramp on the street. |
|
Jesus, he died on calvarys tree |
|
He shed his lifes blood for you and for me |
|
They pierced his side and then his feet |
|
And they left him to die like a tramp on the street.he was marys own darlin, he was gods chosen son |
|
Once he was fair and once he was young |
|
Mary, she rocked him, her darlin to sleep |
|
Then the gods would deny you on the great judgement day. |
