lyrics

Lazarus (S. Sinner & Traditional)
Dives22 he called to the sheriff man, “one Lazarus lying out my window
He's a dangerous man. You know they're all dangerous men”

Sheriff called to the deputy, he said “go out and bring me Lazarus
Bring him dead or alive. Bring him dead or alive”23

Deputy he found Lazarus lying outside Dives' window
With dogs at his side to lick his sores only dogs at his side

Deputy called to Lazarus, he reach out to call them dogs off
With a .45. He pulled that .45

“Go out and bring me Lazarus”

footnotes
22'Dives' is often spoken of in churches as if it is a name, but actually is just an archaic term meaning 'Rich Man.'
23See generally, Luke 16:19–31 & an old work song 'Poor Lazarus'
