Music Across the Water - Lazarus

As it fell out upon one day rich
Diverus he gave a feast
And he invited all his friends
And gentry of the best
And it fell out upon one day
Poor Lazarus he was so poor
He came and laid him down and down
Even down at Diverus' door

So Lazarus laid him down and down
Even down at Diverus' door
Some meat, some drink, brother Diverus
To bestow upon the poor
Thou art none of mine, brother Lazarus
Lying beggin' at my door
No meat, no drink will I give thee
To bestow upon the poor

So Lazarus laid him down and down
Even down at Diverus' wall
Some meat, some drink, brother Diverus
Or surely starve I shall
Thou art none of mine, brother Lazarus
Lying beggin' at my wall
No meat, no drink will I give thee
So surely starve thou shall

So Lazarus laid him down and down
Even down at Diverus' gate
Some meat, some drink, brother Diverus
For Jesus Christ, his sake
Thou art none of mine, brother Lazarus
Lying beggin' at my gate
No meat, no drink will I give thee
For Jesus Christ his sake

Then Diverus sent his merry men all
To whip poor Lazarus away
They had no power to whip one whip
But threw their whips away
Then Diverus sent his hungry dogs
To bite poor Lazarus away
They had no power to bite one bite
But licked his sores away

Then it fell out upon one day
Poor Lazarus he sickened and died
There came two angels out of heaven
His soul thereto to guide
Rise up, rise up, brother Lazarus
And come along with me
There is a place reserved in heaven
For to sit on an angel's knee

Then it fell out upon one day
Rich Diverus he sickened and died
There came two serpents out of hell
His soul thereto to guide
Rise up, rise up, brother Diverus
And come along with me
There is a place reserved in hell
For to sit on a serpent's knee
