C F G 

chorus
C       G                                     F       
Oh the path was deep and wide from footsteps leading 
        C         F                   G  
to our cabin and above the door there burned a scarlet

C         G                                   F
Lamp and late at night a hand would knock and there 
               C            F              G      
would stand a stranger Yes i'm the son of hickory 
         C
hollars Tramp.


Verse 1
C                             F            
Well the corn was dry and the weeds were high when 
G              C       F            C   
daddy took to drinkin, him and lucy walker they took
            G    C             F             G
up and ran away momma cried a tear then she promised 
     C        F                  G             C
14 children i swear you'll never see a hungry day.
C                F                   G 
when momma sacrificed her pride the neighbors started 
C           F              C   
talkin, but i was much too young to understand the 
             G     C                      F
things they said, the thing that mattered most of all
     G                C                  F
was momma's chicken n dumplins and that goodnight kiss

   G               C
before we went to bed. 

Repeat Chorus

C                     F          G             C
when daddy left then destitution came upon our family
F                C                             G
not one neighbor volunteered to give a helpin hand
C                F                  G   
so let em gossip all They want she loved us and she 
C              F                 G                C
raised us the truth is standing here a full grown man.
C                 F                G
last summer momma passed away and left the ones who 
C          F              C  
loved her, each and everyone is more than greatful for

       G      C              F                     G 
their birth, each sunday she recieves a fresh boquet 
                C        F                    G
of fourteen roses, and a card that reads the greatest 
           C
mom on earth.
