歌曲歌詞
The Son Of Hickory Holler's Tramp - Kenny Rogers (肯尼·羅傑斯)
Written by：Dallas Frazier
The corn was dry the weeds were high when daddy took to drinkin'
Then him and Lucy walker they took up and run 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 talkin'
But I was much too young to understand a thing they said
The things that mattered most of all was mama's chicken dumpling's
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 helpin' hand
So let 'em gossip all they want she loved us and she raised us
The proof is standin' here a full grown man
Last summer mama passed away and left the ones who loved her
Each and every one was more than grateful for their birth
