The Statler Brothers – The Tramp on the Street lyrics

Only a tramp was Lazarus sad fate
He was lay down at the rich man's gate
He begged for the crumbs from the rich man to eat
But they left him to die like a tramp on the street

He was some mother's darlin' he was some mother's child
Once he was fair and lovely and mild
Some mother rocked him her darlin' to sleep
But they left him to die like a tramp on the street

Jesus who died on Calvary's tree
Shed His life's blood for you and for me
They wounded His sides His hands and His feet
But they left him to die like a tramp on the street

He was some mother's darlin' he was some mother's child
Once he was fair, lovely and mild
Some mother rocked him her darlin' to sleep
But they left him to die like a tramp on the street
But they left him to die like a tramp on the street
