The Son of Hickory Hollow's Tramp - Bobby Bare[00:00:00]

The corn was dry[00:00:01]

The weeds were high[00:00:04]

When daddy took to drinking[00:00:06]

Then him and Lucy Walker[00:00:10]

They took up[00:00:14]

And ran away[00:00:16]

Mama cried a tear[00:00:19]

And then she promised fourteen children[00:00:23]

I swear you'll never see a hungry day[00:00:28]

Oh the path was deep and wide[00:00:34]

From footsteps leading to our cabin[00:00:37]

Above the door there burned the scarlet lamp[00:00:42]

And late at night a hand would knock[00:00:49]

And there would stand a stranger[00:00:53]

Yes I'm the son of Hickory Holler's tramp[00:00:56]

When mama sacrificed her pride[00:01:04]

The neighbors started talkin'[00:01:07]

But I was much too young[00:01:11]

To understand the things they said[00:01:14]

The things that mattered most of all[00:01:20]

Was mama's chicken dumplings[00:01:24]

And the goodnight kiss before we went to bed[00:01:27]

Oh the path was deep and wide[00:01:34]

From footsteps leading to our cabin[00:01:37]

Above the door there burned the scarlet lamp[00:01:42]

And late at night a hand would knock[00:01:48]

And there would stand a stranger[00:01:52]

Yes I'm the son of Hickory Holler's tramp[00:01:56]

When daddy left then destitution[00:02:03]

Came upon our family[00:02:07]

Not one neighbor volunteered[00:02:11]

To give a helping hand[00:02:14]

So let them gossip all they want[00:02:19]

She loved us and she raised us[00:02:23]

The proof is standing here a full grown man[00:02:27]

Last summer mama passed away[00:02:36]

And left the ones who loved her[00:02:39]

Each and everyone of us[00:02:42]

Were more than grateful for our birth[00:02:44]

Now every Sunday she receives[00:02:50]

A fresh bouquet of fourteen roses[00:02:53]

With a card that says to the greatest mom on earth[00:02:57]

Oh the path was deep and wide[00:03:04]

From footsteps leading to our cabin[00:03:07]

Above the door there burned the scarlet lamp[00:03:11]

And late at night a hand would knock[00:03:18]

And there would stand a stranger[00:03:22]

Yes I'm the son of Hickory Holler's tramp[00:03:25]

Yes I'm the son of Hickory Holler's tramp[00:03:32]
