Little Jimmy Dickens - Tramp On The Street lyrics
Your rating:
Only a tramp twas last reset fate he who laid 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 He was some mother's darling he was some mother's son Once he was fair and once he was young Some mother rocked him her darling to sleep But they left him to die like a tramp on the street Jesus who died on Calvary's tree she'd his life's blood for you and for me They fixed his sides his hands and his feet Then they left him to die like a tramp on the street [ harmonica ] If Jesus should come and knock at your door For a place to come in or crumbs from your floor Would you welcome him in or turn him away Oh God would reward you on that great judgement day He was Mary's own darling he was God's chosen son Once he was fair and once he was young Mary she rocked him her darling to sleep Then they left him to die like a tramp on the street
