Peter, Paul and Mary
Tramp On the Street
[Verse 1]
Jesus, He died on Calvary's tree
Nails in His hands and nails in His feet
Mary, she rocked Him, her little baby to sleep
But they left Him to die like a tramp on the street
[Verse 2]
Only a poor man was Lazarus that day
When he lay down at the rich man's gate
He begged for the crumbs of the rich man to eat
He was only a tramp found dead on the street
[Verse 3]
He was some mother's darlin', he was some mother's son
Once he was fair and once he was young
Some mother rocked him, her little baby, to sleep
But they left him to die like a tramp on the street
[Verse 4]
Jesus who died on Calvary's tree
Shed His life's blood for you and for me
(You and for me)
They pierced His sides, His hands and His feet
(His hands and His feet)
But they left Him to die like a tramp on the street
[Verse 5]
Jesus, He died on Calvary's tree
Nails in His hands and nails in His feet
Mary, she rocked Him, her little baby to sleep
But they left Him to die like a tramp on the street
