Only a tramp was - Lazarus' sad fate
           A7                       D
He who lay down at - the rich man's gate
                                                G
He begged for the crumbs from - the rich man to eat

He was some mother's darlin' - he was some mother's son
            A7                     D
Once he was fair and - once he was young
                                            G
And 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
                A7                      D
Shed His life's blood for - you and for me
                                           G
They pierced His sides - His hands and 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
            A7                     D
Once He was fair and - once He was young
                                     G
Mary she rocked Him - her darlin' to sleep
                     D            A7           D
But they left Him to die like - a tramp on the street

Verse 5:
D                                        G
If Jesus should come and - knock on your door
               A7                           D
For a place to come in or - bread from your store
                                        G
Would you welcome Him in or - turn Him away?
                      D               A         D
Then the Gods would deny you - on the Great Judgment Day
