Merle Haggard lyrics Son Of Hickory Holler S Tramp lyrics 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 knock and there. would stand a stranger, yes, I'm the Son of Hickory Holler's Tramp Yeah, the weeds were high, the corn was dry when daddy took to drinking, Him and Sally Walker, they up and ran away, Then mama shed a silent tear and promised fourteen children I swear you'll never see a hungry day. When mama sacrificed her pride, the neighbors started talkin', But we were much too young to understand the things they said; All we really cared about was mamas chicken dumplins , And a goodnight kiss before we went to bed. You know 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 strangers Yes, I'm the son of Hickory holler's tramp. When daddy left and destitution came upon our family Not one neighbor volunteered to lend a helpin' hand, So let 'um gossip all they want- she loved us and she raised us The proof's just standing here a full-grown man. Last summer momma passed away and left the ones who loved her Each and everyone is more than grateful for their birth. Each Sunday she receives a big bouquet of fourteen roses With a card that reads 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 nigh a hand would knock and there would stand a;stranger, Yes, I'm the son of Hickory Holler's' tramp . . .
