lirik lagu sanford clark – the son of hickory holler’s tramp
[chorus]
oh the path was deep and wide from the 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
[verse 1]
the corn was dry and the weeds were high when daddy took to drinkin’
and him and lucy walker, they took up and run away
mama cried a tear and then she promised 14 children
i swear you’ll never see a hungry day
when mama sacrificed her pride the neighbors started talking
but i was much too young to understand the things they said
the things that mattered most of all was mama’s chicken dumplings
and a goodnight kiss before we went to bed
[chorus]
oh the path was deep and wide from the 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
yes i’m the son of hickory holler’s tramp
[verse 2]
when daddy left and dest-tution came upon our family
not one neighbor volunteered to give a helping hand
so let ’em gossip all they want
she loved us and she raised us
the proof is standing here, a full grown man
last summer mama p-ssed away and left the ones who loved her
each and everyone more than grateful for their birth
each sunday she receives a fresh bouquet of 14 roses
and a card that says the greatest mom on earth
[chorus]
oh the path was deep and wide from the 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
yes i’m the son of hickory holler’s tramp
