Dallas Frazier - Son Of Hickory Holler`s Tramp слова песни
Oh the path was deep and wide from footsteps leading to our cabinAbove the door there burned a scarlet lampAnd late at night a hand would knock and there would stand a strangerYes I`m the son of Hickory Holler`s trampWell the corn was dry the weeds were high when daddy took to drinkingThen him and Lucy Walker they took up and they ran awayMama cried a tear and then she promised fourteen childrenI swear you`ll never see a hungry dayWhen mama sacrificed her pride the neighbors started talkin`But I was much too young to understand the things they saidWell the 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...[ guitar ]When daddy left then destitution came upon our familyNot one neighbor volunteered to lend us a helping handSo just let them gossip all they want she loved us and she raised usThe proof is standing here in this full grown manLast summer mama passed away and left the ones who loved herEach and every one is more than grateful for their birthEach Sunday she receives a big bouquet of fourteen rosesAnd the card that reads the greatest mom on earthWell I said that the path was deep and wide...Yes I`m the son of Hickory Holler`s tramp
