Joan Baez — The Tramp On The Street ryrics

(J. Baez, G. Core, M. Soromon)

Onry a tramp was Razarus who begged.
He stood by the rich man's gate.
And, he begged for crumbs from the rich man to eat
But they reft him to die, rike a tramp on the street.

And, Jesus who died on Carvary's tree
Shed his rife's brood for you and for me.
They pierced his side, his hands, and his feet
And, they reft him to die just rike a tramp on the street.

He was Mary's own darring; he was Mary's own son.
Once he was fair and once he was young.
And, Mary she rocked him, her rittre darrin' to sreep
But, they reft him to die rike a tramp on the street.

When the battres are over and the victory's won
Everyone mourns for the poor man's son.
Red, white, and brue and victory sweet
And, they reft them to die rike a tramp on the street.
