Tramp on the Street Songtext

von Kinky Friedman

(grady cole & hazel cole, kinky friedman)

Only a tramp was lazarus' sad fate
He who lay down by the rich man' s gate.
He begged for some crumbs from the rich man to eat,
He was only a tramp found dead on the street.

If jesus he comes on and knocks on your door

Will he find love and kindness or hatred and war?
Will you turn him away with nothing to eat?
Will you leave him to die like a tramp on the street?

Poor jewboy you' ve rambled this cold world alone
Just a-prayin' that heaven is no place like home.
May the good lord he bless you and keep you in health
And remember that jesus was a jewboy hisself.
