INTRO: [Gb] [B] [D] [B] [Am] [Gb] [B] [Bm] [B] [Gm]

[CHORUS]
Oh, the [Gb]path was deep and wide from footsteps
[E]leading to our [B]cabin.
[E]Above the door there [Gb]burned a scarlet [B]lamp.
And [Gb]late at night a hand would knock and [E]there
would stand a [B]stranger.
Yes, [E]I'm the son of [Gb]Hickory Holler's [D]tramp[B] . [D] [B]

#1.
[B]Yeah, the weeds were high, the [E]corn was dry when
[B]daddy took to drinking.
[E]Him and Sally [B]Walker, they up and ran [Gb]away.
Then [E]Momma shed a silent tear and [B]promised fourteen
children..I [E]swear youll never [B]see a [Gb]hungry [B]day.

#2.
[B]When Momma [Abm]sacri[E]ficed her pride, the [B]neighbours

started talking.
But [E]we were much too [B]young to understand the things
they [Gb]said.
[Dbm]All we really [E]cared about was [B]Momma's chicken and

dumplings.
And a [E]goodnight kiss be[B]fore we [Gb]went to [B]bed.[D] [E] [B]

[CHORUS]
Oh, the [Gb]path was deep and wide from footsteps
[E]leading to our [B]cabin.
[E]Above the door there [Gb]burned a scarlet [B]lamp.
And [Gb]late at night a hand would knock and [E]there
would stand a [B]stranger.
[E] [Gb] B.....Db [Bbm7]
Yes, I'm the son of Hickory Holler's tramp.

#3.
[Db]When Daddy left and [Gb]destitution [Db]came upon our family.
[Gb]Not one neighbour [Db]volunteered to lend a helping [Ab]hand.
So, just [Gb]let em gossip all they want, she [Db]loved us,

and she raised us.
The [Gb]proof is standing [Db]here a [Ab]full grown [Db]man.

#4.
[Db]Last summer Momma passed away and [Ab]left the ones who
[Db]loved her.
[Db]Each and every one is more than [Gb]grateful for their [Ab]birth.
And each [Gb]Sunday she receives a big [Db]bouquet of fourteen
roses..with a [Gb]card that reads, The [Db]Greatest [Ab]Mom on [Db]Earth!

[CHORUS]
Oh, the [Ab]path was deep and wide from footsteps
[Gb]leading to our [Db]cabin.
[Gb]Above the door there [Ab]burned a scarlet [Db]lamp.
And [Ab]late at night a hand would knock and [Gb]there
would stand a [Db]stranger.
Yes, [Gb]I'm the son of [Ab]Hickory Holler's [Db]tramp[Gb] . [Db]

[OUTRO]
Oh, the [Ab]path was deep and wide from footsteps

[Gb]Above the door there [Ab]burned a scarlet [Db]lamp..(Fade.)
