Karaoke Track: Son Of Hickory Holler's Tramp by Merle Haggard (Silver Saddle Karaoke) - Karaoke Nerds

0H THE PATH WAS
DEEP AND WIDE
FROM FOOTSTEPS
LEADING TO OUR CABIN

ABOVE THE DOORTHERE
BURNED A SCARLET LAMP
AND LATE AT NIGHT
A HAND WOULD KNOCK

THE CORN WAS DRY
AND WEEDS WERE HIGH
WHEN DADDY
TOOK T0 DRINKING

g

HIM AND LUCY WALKER
THEY TOOK UP

AND RAN 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 TALKING
BUT I WAS MUCH T00 YOUNG
TO UNDERSTAND THE THINGS
THEY SAID

THE THING THAT MATTERED
MOST OF ALL
WAS MAMA'S
CHICKEN DUMPLINGS
AND A GOODNIGHT KISS
BEFORE WE WENT TO BED

ABOVE THE DOORTHERE
BURNED A SCARLET LAMP
AND LATE AT NIGHT
A HAND WOULD KNOCK

WHEN DADDY LEFT

AND DESTITUTION
CAME UPON OUR FAMILY

NOT ONE NEIGHBOUR
VOLUNTEERED TO
GIVE A HELPING HAND
SO LET'EM GOSSIP
ALL THEY WANT

LAST SUI'u'IMER MAMA
PASSED AWAY

AND LEFT THE ONES
WHO LOVED HER

EACH AND EVERY ONE IS
MORE THAN GRATEFUL
FORTHEIR BIRTH
EACH SUNDAY SHE RECEIVES
A FRESH BOUQUET 0F
FOURTEEN ROSES

0H THE PATH WAS
DEEP AND WIDE
FROM FOOTSTEPS
LEADING TO OUR CABIN

ABOVE THE DOORTHERE
BURNED A SCARLET LAMP
AND LATE AT NIGHT
A HAND WOULD KNOCK

YEAH I'M THE SON
OF HICKORY
