[00:00:00] The Son of Hickory Holler's Tramp - The Hit Co. (热歌公司)

[00:00:15] Oh, the path was deep and wide

[00:00:18] From footsteps leading to our cabin

[00:00:22] Above the door there burned a scarlet lamp

[00:00:28] And late at night a hand would knock

[00:00:32] And there would stand a stranger

[00:00:35] Yes, I'm the son of Hickory Hollers tramp

[00:00:46] Yeah, the weeds were high, the corn was dry

[00:00:50] When daddy took to drinking

[00:00:54] Him and Sally Walker, they up and ran away

[00:01:01] Then Momma she'd a silent tear

[00:01:05] And promised fourteen children

[00:01:08] I swear you'll never see a hungry day

[00:01:15] When Momma sacrificed her pride

[00:01:18] The neighbours started talking

[00:01:22] But we were much too young

[00:01:25] To understand the things they said

[00:01:30] All we really cared about

[00:01:33] Was Mommas chicken dumplings

[00:01:36] And a goodnight kiss

[00:01:38] Before we went to bed

[00:01:43] Oh, you know, the path was deep and wide

[00:01:46] From footsteps leading to our cabin

[00:01:50] Above the door there burned a scarlet lamp

[00:01:56] And late at night a hand would knock

[00:02:00] And there would stand a stranger

[00:02:03] Yes, I'm the son of Hickory Hollers tramp

[00:02:13] When Daddy left and destitution

[00:02:17] Came upon our family

[00:02:20] Not one neighbour volunteered

[00:02:23] To lend a helping hand

[00:02:28] So just let em gossip all they want

[00:02:32] She loved us, and she raised us

[00:02:35] The proof is standing here

[00:02:38] A full grown man

[00:02:41] Last summer Momma passed away

[00:02:45] And left the ones who loved her

[00:02:48] Each and every one is

[00:02:51] More than grateful for their birth

[00:02:58] And each Sunday she receives

[00:03:01] A big bouquet of fourteen roses

[00:03:05] With a card that reads

[00:03:07] The Greatest Mom on Earth

[00:03:10] Oh, you know, the path was deep and wide

[00:03:14] From footsteps leading to our cabin

[00:03:18] Above the door there burned a scarlet lamp

[00:03:25] And late at night a hand would knock

[00:03:28] And there would stand a stranger

[00:03:31] Yes, I'm the son of Hickory Hollers tramp

[00:03:36] Oh, you know, the path was deep and wide

[00:03:41] From footsteps leading to our cabin

[00:03:45] Above the door there burned a scarlet lamp

[00:03:51] And late at night a hand would knock
