Bobby Bare - Son Of Hickory Holler`s Tramp слова песни
The corn was dry and the weeds were high when daddy took to drinkingThen him and Lucy Walker they took up and ran awayMama cried a tear and then she promised fourteen childrenI swear you`ll never see a hungry dayOh the path was deep and wide from footsteps leading to our cabinAbove the door there burned the scarlet lampAnd late at night a hand would knock and there would stand a strangerYes I`m the son of Hickory Holler`s trampWhen mama sacrificed her pride the neighbors started talkin`But I was much too young to understand the things they saidThe things that mattered most of all was mama`s chicken dumplingsAnd the goodnight kiss before we went to bedOh the path was deep and wide...When daddy left then destitution came upon our familyNot one neighbor volunteered to give a helping handSo let `em gossip all they want she loved us and she raised usThe proof is standing here a full grown manLast summer mama passed away and left the ones who loved herEach and every one of us were more than grateful for our birthNow every Sunday she receives a fresh bouquet of fourteen rosesWith a card that says to the greatest mom on earthOh the path was deep and wide...Yes I`m the son of Hickory Holler`s tramp
