Luyện nghe bài hát Patches

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I was too young to understand, talking about a heart attack
Mama rushed all of us out of the into the hallway
About ten later 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 running to papa's room there papa lay there

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

"So, what I you to do is promise me son
Is that you're gonna do your to help your mama
As as you can", I said, "Papa I'm gonna do my best"
But little did I know then I know right now
trying to climb life's mountain
Searching for a top there ain't no top

Sometimes you find yourself frustrated,
But every time I feel like I live my life like I want to
My mind goes back to day
When I see those tears in my Daddy's
But most of all I remember his
"Patches, I'm on you boy"

Every time I feel like giving up I hear his
"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"
