Kenny Rogers - Son Of Hickory Holler's Tramp

Kenny Rogers

Son Of Hickory Holler's 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
Yes, I'm the son of Hickory Holler's tramp.

When daddy left and destitution came upon our family
Not one neighbour 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.

Last summer Mama passed away and left the ones who loved her
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...

Mirror lyrics:

Above the door there burned a scarlet...
Oh, the path was deep and wide from footsteps leading to our cabin

Yes, I'm the son of Hickory Holler's tramp.
And late at night a hand would knock and there would stand a stranger
Above the door there burned a scarlet lamp
Oh, the path was deep and wide from footsteps leading to our cabin

Yes, I'm the son of Hickory Holler's tramp.
And late at night a hand would knock and there would stand a stranger
Above the door there burned a scarlet lamp
Oh, the path was deep and wide from footsteps leading to our cabin

And a card that says The greatest Mom on earth.
Each Sunday she receives a fresh bouquet of fourteen roses
Each and every one was more than grateful for their birth
Last summer Mama passed away and left the ones who loved her

The proof is standin' here, a full grown man.
So let 'em gossip all they want, she loved us and she raised us
Not one neighbour volunteered to give a helpin' hand
When daddy left and destitution came upon our family

Yes, I'm the son of Hickory Holler's tramp.
And late at night a hand would knock and there would stand a stranger
Above the door there burned a scarlet lamp
Oh, the path was deep and wide from footsteps leading to our cabin

And a goodnight kiss before we went to bed.
The things that mattered most of all was Mama's chicken dumplin's
But I was much too young to understand a thing they said
When mama sacrificed her pride the neighbours started talkin'

I swear you'll never see a hungry day.
Mama cried a tear and then she promised fourteen children
Then him and Lucy Walker, they took up and run away
The corn was dry, the weeds were high when Daddy took to drinkin'
