Lazarus

See the rich man Rich man
In purple clothes Great clothes
He eats well ev'ry night and day Steak and lamb

All that he wants Hear this
Is a few crumbs Feed him
What does the rich man do for him? Nothing, nothing, evil man!

It came to pass that the beggar died, and he was carried away.
Angels took him up to Abraham. That’s where he could stay.

Then the rich man Rich man
That man died too He died
He went on right away to hell My, oh my!

When he was there So hot
He saw a far A far
The beggar man with Abraham Lookin’ fine

Oh, Abraham He cried
I see you there A far
Please let that beggar come to me, come to me!
Oh, let him dip Water!
His fingertip Water!
That he may cool my burning – I’m tormented in this flame.

Son, remember while you lived you had the good and this man had the bad.
You didn't help him and that don't sit too good, so now you get to feel bad.
And don't you see this great big gulf that divides your place from his?
He can't get to you and you can't get to here and that's the way it is!

Said the Rich Man Rich Man
Hey, "Father Abe Ra-Ham
Send that man to my father's house, send him please.

Oh, let him teach Let him
My family Let him
'Cause I don't want them comin' here. Don't come here, oh, don't come here!"

They have Moses and all the prophets, let them hear the men I sent.
On, no, father, if the dead went back to them, then they would repent.

They did not hear Moses
They did not hear Prophets
And if a dead man rose again, would they hear?

They would not hear Moses
They would not hear Prophets
And if a dead man rose again Would they hear?

They will not hear No ears
They will not see No eyes
They won't believe No faith

They must first believe, then they will see.
They must first believe, then they will see.
They must first believe - then they will see.

Oh, father, Abe, oh, Abraham.
Oh, father, Abe, oh, Abraham.
Oh, father, Abe, oh, Abraham.
Oh, father, Abraham, oh, Abraham.
