Merle Haggard - The Son Of Hickory Holler`s слова песни
Oh, the path was deep and wideFrom footsteps leading to our cabinAbove the door there burned a scarlet lampAnd late at night a hand would knockAnd there would stand a strangerYes, I`m the son of Hickory Holler`s trampYeah, the weeds were high, the corn was dryWhen daddy took to drinkingHim and Sally Walker, they up and ran awayThen Momma shed a silent tearAnd promised fourteen children"I swear you`ll never see a hungry day"When Momma sacrificed her prideThe neighbours started talkingBut we were much too youngTo understand the things they saidAll we really cared aboutWas Momma`s chicken dumplingsAnd a goodnight kissBefore we went to bedOh, you know, the path was deep and wideFrom footsteps leading to our cabinAbove the door there burned a scarlet lampAnd late at night a hand would knockAnd there would stand a strangerYes, I`m the son of Hickory Holler`s trampWhen Daddy left and destitutionCame upon our familyNot one neighbour volunteeredTo lend a helping handSo just let `em gossip all they wantShe loved us, and she raised usThe proof is standing hereA full grown manLast summer Momma passed awayAnd left the ones who loved herEach and every one isMore than grateful for their birthAnd each Sunday she receivesA big bouquet of fourteen rosesWith a card that reads`The Greatest Mom on Earth`Oh, you know, the path was deep and wideFrom footsteps leading to our cabinAbove the door there burned a scarlet lampAnd late at night a hand would knockAnd there would stand a strangerYes, I`m the son of Hickory Holler`s tramp
