The Son Of Hickory Holler's Tramp |
The corn was dry and the weeds were high when daddy took to drinking |
Then him and Lucy Walker they took up and ran away |
Mama cried a tear and then she promised fourteen children |
I swear you’ll never see a hungry day |
Oh the path was deep and wide from footsteps leading to our cabin |
Above the door there burned the scarlet lamp |
And late at night a hand would knock and there would stand a stranger |
Yes I’m the son of Hickory Holler’s tramp |
When mama sacrificed her pride the neighbors started talkin' |
But I was much too young to understand the things they said |
The things that mattered most of all was mama’s chicken dumplings |
And the goodnight kiss before we went to bed |
Oh the path was deep and wide… |
When daddy left then destitution came upon our family |
Not one neighbor volunteered to give a helping hand |
So let 'em gossip all they want she loved us and she raised us |
The proof is standing here a full grown man |
Last summer mama passed away and left the ones who loved her |
Each and every one of us were more than grateful for our birth |
Now every Sunday she receives a fresh bouquet of fourteen roses |
With a card that says to the greatest mom on earth |
Oh the path was deep and wide… |
Yes I’m the son of Hickory Holler’s tramp |
