Oh, the path
was deep and wide
from footsteps leading
to our cabin
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 weeds were
high, the corn was dry

when Daddy took to
drinking
Him and Sally Walker,

they up and ran away
Then Momma
shed a silent tear and
promised fourteen
children. I swear you'll
never see a hungry
day
When
Momma sacrificed her

pride, the neighbours
started talking
But we were much too

young to understand the
things they said
All we really cared

about was Momma's
chicken dumplings
And a goodnight kiss

before we went to bed
Oh, you know, 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 lend 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 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 big bouquet
of fourteen Roses
Oh, you know, 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
Oh, you know, the path
was deep and wide
from footsteps leading
to our cabin
And late at night a hand
would knock, and there
would stand a stranger
Yes, I'm the son of

hickory holler's tramp
