The Tramp on the Street Songtext
von Hank Williams

Only a tramp was lazarus sad fate
He who lay down at the rich mans 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 mothers darling, he was some mothers son
Once he was fair and once he was young
And some mother rocked him, her darling to sleep
But they left him to die like a tramp on the street. Jesus, he died on calvarys tree
He shed his lifes 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 marys own darling, he was gods chosen son
Once he was fair and once he was young
Mary, she rocked him, her darling to sleep

Then the gods would deny you on the great judgement day.
