Letra de Hard Scratch Pride

[Verse 1]
I was born down south Kentucky
A hard scratch holler I call my home
Hell, my mama begged me, "Boy, don't you ramble"
My mama begged me, "Oh boy, don't you roam"
[Verse 2]
When I left that holler I was just a boy
Flat-broke and busted and hell-bent to make it on my own
Hell, I couldn't go back home, no
I could hear that train, it moans a lonesome song
[Chorus]
And I'm headin' up to Detroit on a freight train, Mama
I'm'a finally be a man
I been workin' seven days buildin' them Chevrolets
I'm doin' the best I can
And I met a little city girl
And I'm gonna make her my bride
Oh, but don't worry, Mama
I ain't lost my hard scratch pride
[Verse 3]
Twenty years have passed now since I hit the road
I can hear the whippoorwill, hell, the dogwoods they callin' me home
But Mama, she's long gone
And I can hear ol' Hank, yeah he gonna moan me that lonesome whistle song
[Chorus]
And I'm headin' up to Detroit on a freight train, Mama
I'm'a finally be a man
I been workin' seven days buildin' them Chevrolets
I'm doin' the best I can
And I met a little city girl
And I'm gonna make her my bride
But don't worry, Mama
I ain't lost my hard scratch pride
