Luyện nghe bài hát Patches

I was born and raised in Alabama
On a way back up in the woods
Oh, I was so ragged, folks call me Patches
Papa used to tease me it
But deep inside dad was hurtin'
'Cause he the best he could do

My was a great old man
I can see him with a shovel in his
Education daddy had
But he did wonders when the got bad
The money from the crops we raised
Barely the bills we made

Oh, life put him to the ground
he tried to get up, life would kick him back down
On the day papa called me to his bed
Placed his on my shoulders and in tears he said

"Patches, I'm on you son
To pull the family through, my son, all left up to you"

Two days later papa away
And I a man that day
So, everyday I had to work the
'Cause that's the way we got our meals
See, I was the of the family
And everybody was on me

Now, have passed, everybody's grown
Mama's been in a brand new home
Lord knows it took a lot of and tears
And my daddy's voice helped that us the years

He said, "Patches, I'm on you son
To pull the family through, my son, it's all up to you"

Daddy had been sick for a long time, on his back
Every evening after finished our chores and eat our dinner
We'd all go into room to cheer him up a little
And this particular day, Dad was in spirits
Sitting on the of the bed telling mama how good she looked
When all of a sudden papa had a pain in his

I was too young to understand, about a heart attack here
rushed all of us out of the room into the hallway
About ten minutes she came out with tears in her eyes
She out to me
"Patches, patches get in here boy you're want to see you"
I went running to papa's room there papa lay

Daddy had tears in his eyes, I knew something was
Daddy was a poor man but all of my life he'd been a proud man
I knelt down on one knee the bed
put his hand on my shoulder
He said, "Patches, Patches boy, the hammer of done beat
Your old papa down to the and I ain't got nobody
To turn to take care of and the young ones"

"So, what I want you to do is me son
Is that you're gonna do best to help your mama
As as you can", I said, "Papa I'm gonna do my best"
But did I know then like I know right now
trying to climb life's mountain
Searching for a top when there no top

Sometimes you find frustrated, lazy
But every time I feel like I can't live my like I want to
My goes back to that day
When I see tears in my Daddy's eyes
But most of all I remember his
"Patches, I'm on you boy"

Every time I like giving up I hear his voice
"Patches, Patches, Patches, Patches"

"I'm on you son
I tried to do my best, up you to do the rest"

"Patches, I'm on you son
I've tried to do my best, up you to do the rest"

"Patches, I'm on you son
To pull the through, my son, it's all left up to you"
