Molly O'Day and the New Cumberland Mountain Folks, "The Tramp on the Street"
Only a tramp was Lazarus’ sad fate
He who lay down at the rich man’s gate
He begged for the crumbs from the rich man to eat
He was only a tramp found dead on the street.
Composed by Grady and Hazel Cole, "The Tramp on the Street" was recorded for Columbia in December 1946. It appears on the double-CD set Molly O'Day and the Cumberland Mountain Folks from Bear Family Records.
