Son Of Hickory Hollers Tramp
recorded by Kenny Rogers
written by Dallas Frazier
 

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
