Luyện nghe bài hát Patches

I was born and down in Alabama
On a farm way back up in the
I was so ragged that folks used to me Patches
Papa to tease me about it
'Cause deep down inside he was
'Cause done all he could

My papa was a old man
I can see him a shovel in his hands, see
he never had
He did when the times got bad
The little money from the crops he
Barely paid the bills we

For, had kick him down to the ground
he tried to get up
Life would kick him back
One day Papa me to his dyin' bed
Put his hands on my
And in his tears he

He said,
I'm on you, son
To the family through
My son, all left up to you

Two days later passed away, and
I a man that day
So I told Mama I was gonna school, but
She said that was strictest rule

So every 'fore I went to school
I fed the chickens and I chopped too
Sometimes I felt I couldn't go on
I wanted to leave, just run away home
But I would remember what my daddy
tears in his eyes on his dyin' bed

He said,
I'm on you, son
I tried to do my
It's up to you to do the

Then one day a strong came
And washed all the crops
And at the age of 13 I
I was carryin' the of the
Whole on my shoulders
And you know, knew
I was goin' through, 'cause

Every day I had to work the
that's the only way we got our meals
You see, I was the oldest of the
And else depended on me
Every night I my Mama pray
Lord, give him the strength to make day

So years have passed and all the kids are
The angels took Mama to a brand new
knows, people, I shedded tears
But my voice kept me through the years

Sing,
Patches, I'm on you, son
To pull the family
My son, it's all up to you

Oh, I can still Papa's voice sayin'
Patches, I'm on you, son
tried to do my best
It's up to you to do the

I can still hear Papa, what he
Patches, I'm on you, son
To pull the family
My son, it's all up to you
