The Tramp On The Street

Kinky Friedman - The Tramp On The Street

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.
