[A]
Friends, it's hem time here on the Health and Happiness Show again.
I've got one that I think is one of the best that anybody [B] ever wrote.
Hope [E] you like it.
The Tramp on the Street.
[A] [E]
[B] [E] [B]
[E]
Only a tramp was
Lazarus's [A] sad face
[B] He who lay [F] [B] down
The rich [E] man's game
He begged for the crown
The rich man [A] to win
He was only [E] a tramp
Out [B] dead on [E] the street
He was some mother's dog
He was some [A] mother's son
Once he [B] was fair
Once he [E] was young
And some mother wronged
Her darling to [A] sleep
But they left him [E] to die like
A [B] tramp [E] on the street
Jesus who died
Calvary's [A] tree
He shed his [B] life's blood
For you and for [E]
me
They pierced his side
Hands and [A] his feet
Then they left him [E] to die like
A [B] tramp on [E] the street
He was Mary's own darling
He was [B] God's [E] chosen [Em] [A] son
Once he [B] was fair
Once he [E] was young
Mary she wronged him
Her darling to [A] sleep
But they left him to [E] die like
[B] A tramp on [E] the street
If Jesus should come
Knock on [A] your door
Or a place to [B] come in
Bread from your [E] store
Would you welcome him in
Turn him [A] away
Then God would [E] deny
On [B] the great judgment [E] day
