“The Son Of Hickory Holler’s Tramp” #40 4/20/1968

Not to beat a dead horse, but the Sixties had some really eclectic songs, like one by Ocie Lee Smith (known professionally as O.C. Smith). It’s about a woman abandoned by her alcoholic husband who becomes a hooker to put food on the table and a roof over the heads of her 14 kids. O.C. would have a huge hit later in 1968 that dealt with more mundane stuff.
