       THE TRAMP ON THE STREET
Recorded by: Hank  Williams, Sr.
Writers: Grady and Hazel Cole   CAPO: 1st FRET/KEY: Eb/PLAY: D
[D] Only a  tramp was Lazarus sad [G] fate
He who lay do-[A7] wn at the rich man's [D]  gate
He begged for the crumbs from the rich man to [G] eat
He was only a  [D] tramp found [A7] dead on the [D] street.   [D] He was some mother's darlin', he was some  mother's [G] son
Once he was [A7] fair and once he was [D] young
And some  mother rocked him, her darlin' to [G] sleep
But they left him to [D] die like  a [A7] tramp on the [D] street.   Jesus, He died on Calvary's tree
He shed His  life's 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 Mary's own darlin', he was God's chosen  Son
Once He was fair and once He was young
Mary, she rocked Him, her  darlin' to sleep
But they left Him to die like a tramp on the  street.   If Jesus should come and knock on your  door
For a place to come in, or bread from your store
Would you welcome  Him in, or turn Him away
Then the God's would deny you on the Great  Judgement Day.   HANK WILLIAMS-ON STAGE
