The / corn was dry, the / weeds were high when / Daddy took to / drinkin'
/ D / / G / A7

D / / G / D
Mama cried a / tear and then she / promised fourteen / children,
/ G / A7 / D
"I / swear you'll never / see a hungry / day."
Chorus:
/ D / / G / D
Oh, the / path was deep and / wide, from footsteps / leading to our / cabin,
/ G / A7 / D
A - / bove the door there / burned a scarlet / lamp, and
D / / G / D
Late at night, a / hand would knock and / there would stand a / stranger,
G / A7 / D
I'm the son of / Hick'ry Holler's / tramp.
D / / G / D
Mama sacri - / ficed her pride, and / neighbors started / talkin',
/ D / / G / A7
But / I was much too / young to under - / stand the things they / said,
/ D / / G / D
The / things that mattered / most of all was / Mama's chicken / dumplin's, and
/ G / A7 / D
A / goodnight kiss be- / fore we went to / bed.
/ D / / G / D
When / Daddy left, and / destitution / came upon our / fam'ly,
D / / G / A7
Not one neighbor / volunteered to / give a helpin' / hand,
/ D / / G / D
So / let 'em gossip / all they want; she / loved us and she / raised us.
/ G / A7 / D
The / proof is standing / here, a full grown / man.
/ D / / G / D
Last / summer Mama / passed away and / left the ones who / loved her,
D / / G / A7
Each and ev'ry / one is more than / grateful for his / birth,
/ D / / G / G
Each / Sunday she receives a / fresh bou - / quet of fourteen / roses, and
/ G / A7 / D
A / card that says, " To the / greatest Mom on / earth."
