lirik lagu son of hickory hollers tramp – kenny rogers
the corn was dry, the weeds were high when daddy took to drinkin’
then him and lucy walker, they took up and run away
mama cried a tear and then she promised fourteen children
i swear you’ll never see a hungry day.
when mama sacrificed her pride the neighbours started talkin’
but i was much too young to understand a thing they said
the things that mattered most of all was mama’s chicken dumplin’s
and a goodnight kiss before we went to bed.

each and every one was more than grateful for their birth
each sunday she receives a fresh bouquet of fourteen roses
and a card that says the greatest mom on earth.
oh, the path was deep and wide from footsteps leading to our cabin
above the door there burned a 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.
oh, the path was deep and wide from footsteps leading to our cabin
above the door there burned a 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.
oh, the path was deep and wide from footsteps leading to our cabin
above the door there burned a scarlet…
