The Son Of Hickory Holler's Tramp (24-Bit Digitally Remastered) - Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)

Oh 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'm the son of Hickory Holler's tramp

Yeah the corn was dry the weeds were high

When daddy took to drinking

Him and Lucy Walker they took up and ran away

Momma cry the tear

And she promised fourteen children

I swear you'll never see a hungry day

When Momma sacrificed her pride

The neighbours started talking

But I was much too young

To understand the things they said

The tings make matter cared about

Was Momma's chicken dumplings

And a 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 a 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 and destitution

Came upon our family

Not one neighbour volunteered

To give 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 bouquet of fourteen roses

With a card that reads

The Greatest Mom on Earth

Oh 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'm the son of Hickory Holler's tramp

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