The Son of Hickory Hollow's Tramp - Bobby Bare
The corn was dry

The weeds were high

When daddy took to drinking

Then 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

Oh the path was deep and wide
From footsteps leading to our cabin

Above the door there burned the scarlet lamp

And late at night a hand would knock
And there would stand a stranger

Yes I'm the son of Hickory Holler's tramp

When mama sacrificed her pride
The neighbors started talkin'

But I was much too young
To understand the things they said

The things that mattered most of all
Was mama's chicken dumplings

And the goodnight kiss before we went to bed

Oh the path was deep and wide
From footsteps leading to our cabin

Above the door there burned the scarlet lamp

And late at night a hand would knock
And there would stand a stranger

Yes I'm the son of Hickory Holler's tramp

When daddy left then destitution
Came upon our family

Not one neighbor volunteered
To give a helping hand

So let them 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 everyone of us

Were more than grateful for our birth

Now every Sunday she receives
A fresh bouquet of fourteen roses

With a card that says to the greatest mom on earth

Oh the path was deep and wide
From footsteps leading to our cabin

Above the door there burned the scarlet lamp

And late at night a hand would knock
And there would stand a stranger

Yes I'm the son of Hickory Holler's tramp

Yes I'm the son of Hickory Holler's tramp
