C F C
The corn was dry the weeds were high when Daddy took to drinking
F C G7
When him and Lucy Walker they took up and run away
C F C
Mama cried a tear and then she promised fourteen children
F G7 C
I swear you'll never see a hungry day
C G7 F C
Oh the path was deep and wide from footsteps leading to our cabin
F G7 C
Above the door there burned a scarlet lamp
G7
And late at night a hand would knock
F C
And there would stand a stranger
F G7 C
I'm the son of Hickory Holler's tramp
F C
Mama sacrificed her pride and neighbors started talking
F C G7
But I was much too young to understand the things they said
C F C
The things that mattered most of all was Mama's chicken dumplings
F G7 C
And a goodnight kiss before we went to bed
F C
When Daddy left and destitution came upon our family
F C G7
Not one neighbor volunteered to give a helping hand
C F C
So let 'em gossip all they want she loved us and she raised us F G7 C
The proof is standing here a full grown man
F C
Last summer Mama passed away and left the ones who loved her
F C G7
Each and every one is more than grateful for his birth
C F C
Each Sunday she receives a fresh bouquet of fourteen roses
F G7 C
And a card that says to the greatest Mom on earth
Repeat #2
