As a child i always thought the song Son of Hickory Hollers Tramp was about a boy who's Dad was a tramp!
Wasn't till my 20's when listening to the line "Outside the door there burned a scarlet lamp" i realised he was singing about his Mum!!
A childhood belief about misheard lyrics
others believed things like this
- That song that goes:
I'll never let you go...
I thought he was singing:
Another machine gun...
