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
