Only a tramp was lazarus that day
He who lay down 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
If jesus should come and knock at your door
For a place to come mine or bread from your store
Would you welcome him in or turn him away
Then god would reward you on the great judgment day
Jesus he died on calvary's tree
Shed his life's blood for you and for me
They pierced his side his hands and his feet
Then they left him to die like a tramp on the street
He was mary's own darling he was god's chosen son
Once he was fair once he was young
And mary she rocked him who darling to sleep
And she left him to die like a tramp on the street
