Karaoke Track: The Son Of Hickory Hollers Tramp by O.C. Smith (Sunfly)

SON OF HICKORY

g2 HOLLWER S TRABIP

W ell 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&#39;m the son of
Hickory Holler&#39;s tramp

Here the weeds were high

the com was dry
When Daddy took to drinking

Him and Sally Walker
They upped and ran away

Then Mama shed a silent tear
and promised fourteen children
I swear You&#39;ll never see
a hungry day

When Mama sacriflced
her pride
The neighbours started talking

But we were much too
yalmg to understand
the things they said

All we really cared about
Was Mama&#39;s
chicken dumplings

And a goodnight kiss
before we went to bed

W 02111

You know 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&#39;m the son of
Hickory Holler&#39;s tramp

When Daddy left and
destitution
came upon our family

N ot one neighbour volunteered
to lend a helping hand

So just let &#39;em gossip
all they want
She loved us and she raised us

The proof is standing here
a full grown man

Last summer Mama
passed away
And left the ones Who loved her

Each and every one is more
than grateful for their birth

And each Sunday she receives
A big bouquet of fourteen roses

With a card that reads
The greatest mum on earth

W oah

You know 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&#39;m the son of
Hickory Holler&#39;s tramp
woah yeah

You know 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
