The Son Of Hickory Holler's Tramp - Kenny Rogers (肯尼·罗杰斯)[00:00:00]
Written by:Dallas Frazier[00:00:03]
The corn was dry the weeds were high when daddy took to drinkin'[00:00:06]
Then him and Lucy walker they took up and run away[00:00:11]
Mama cried a tear and then she promised fourteen children[00:00:18]
I swear you'll never see a hungry day[00:00:24]
When mama sacrificed her pride the neighbors started talkin'[00:00:29]
But I was much too young to understand a thing they said[00:00:35]
The things that mattered most of all was mama's chicken dumpling's[00:00:42]
And a goodnight kiss before we went to bed[00:00:47]
Oh the path was deep and wide from footsteps leading to our cabin[00:00:52]
Above the door there burned a scarlet lamp[00:00:58]
And late at night a hand would knock and there would stand a stranger[00:01:04]
Yes I'm the son of hickory holler's tramp[00:01:09]
When daddy left and destitution came upon our family[00:01:17]
Not one neighbor volunteered to give a helpin' hand[00:01:23]
So let 'em gossip all they want she loved us and she raised us[00:01:30]
The proof is standin' here a full grown man[00:01:35]
Last summer mama passed away and left the ones who loved her[00:01:40]
Each and every one was more than grateful for their birth[00:01:46]
Each Sunday she receives a fresh bouquet of fourteen roses[00:01:53]
And a card that says the greatest mom on earth[00:01:58]
Oh the path was deep and wide from footsteps leading to our cabin[00:02:03]
Above the door there burned a scarlet lamp[00:02:09]
And late at night a hand would knock and there would stand a stranger[00:02:15]
Yes I'm the son of hickory holler's tramp[00:02:20]
Oh the path was deep and wide from footsteps leading to our cabin[00:02:25]
Above the door there burned a scarlet lamp[00:02:31]
And late at night a hand would knock and there would stand a stranger[00:02:36]
Yes I'm the son of hickory holler's tramp[00:02:42]
Oh the path was deep and wide from footsteps leading to our cabin[00:02:47]
Above the door there burned a scarlet lamp[00:02:53]
And late at night a hand would knock and there would stand a stranger[00:02:58]
