The Son Of Hickory Holler's Tramp
Lyricist:Dallas Frazier
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 neighbors 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 dumplings 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 Yes, I'm the son of Hickory Holler's tramp
When daddy left and destitution came upon our family Not one neighbor volunteered to give a helpin' hand So let 'em gossip all they want, she loved us and she raised us The proof is standin' here, a full grown man

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 lamp And late at night a hand would knock and there would stand a stranger Yes, I'm the son
