lirik lagu kenny rogers - son of hickory hollers tramp
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.
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

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…
