Luyện nghe bài hát Patches

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

My papa was a old man
I can see him with a shovel in his
Education daddy had
But he did wonders the times got bad
The little from the crops we raised
Barely paid the bills we

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

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

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

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

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

had been sick for a long time, flat 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 day, Dad was in good spirits
Sitting on the side of the bed telling mama how good she
When all of a sudden papa had a in his chest

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

Daddy had tears in his eyes, I something was wrong
'Cause Daddy was a poor man but all of my life he'd a proud man
I knelt down on one knee the bed
Papa put his on my shoulder
He said, "Patches, Patches boy, the hammer of life beat
old papa down to the ground and I ain't got nobody
To turn to take care of mama and the 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 little did I know then like I right now
That trying to life's mountain
Searching for a top when ain't no top

Sometimes you yourself frustrated, lazy
But every time I feel like I live my life like I want to
My mind goes to that day
When I see those tears in my 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 to do my best, it's up you to do the rest"

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

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