《The Son of Hickory Hollow’s Tramp》歌词

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

[00:00:01] The corn was dry

[00:00:04] The weeds were high

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

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

[00:00:14] They took up

[00:00:16] And ran away

[00:00:19] Mama cried a tear

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:07] Came upon our family

[00:02:11] Not one neighbor volunteered

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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