The Son Of Hickory Holler's Tramp - B

Chorus:
Oh, the (I) path was deep and wide, from footsteps (IV) leading to our (I) cabin,
A (IV) bove the door there (V7) burned a scarlet (I) lamp.
And late at night, a hand would knock and (IV) there would stand a (I) stranger,
(IV) I'm the son of (V7) Hickory Holler's (I) tramp.

Oh, the (I) weeds were high, the corn was dry when (IV) daddy took to (I) drinkin',
(D) Him and Liz Walker, they (G) up and ran a (V7) way.
Then (I) Momma shed a silent tear and (IV) promised fourteen (I) children,
"I (I) swear you'll never (V7) see a hungry (I) day."

When Momma sacrificed her pride, the neighbors started talkin',
But we were much too young to understand the things they said,
All we really cared about, was Momma's chicken dinner.
And a goodnight kiss, before we went to bed.
.
Chorus

When Daddy left and destitution came upon our family.
Not one neighbor volunteered to lend a helping hand.
So let 'em gossip all they want, she loved us, and she raised us.
The proof is standing here, a full grown man.

Last summer Momma 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 Mom on Earth'

Chorus
