Paroles de la chanson The Son of Hickory Holler's Tramp par Merle Haggard
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
The corn was dry and the weeds were high when Daddy took to drinking
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."
When Mama sacrificed her pride, the neighbors started talking
But I was much too young to understand the things they said
The thing that mattered most of all was Mama'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 neighbor volunteered to give a helping hand
The thing that mattered most of all was Mama'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 neighbor volunteered to give a helping hand
So just let '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
Each Sunday, she receives a fresh bouquet of fourteen roses
And 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
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
Each Sunday, she receives a fresh bouquet of fourteen roses
And 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
Yea, I'm the son of Hickory Holler's tramp
Yea, I'm the son of Hickory Holler's tramp
