Luyện nghe bài hát Patches

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

My was a great old man
I can see him with a in his hands, see
Education he had
He did wonders the times got bad
The little money from the he raised
paid the bills we made

For, life had kick him down to the
When he to get up
Life would kick him down
One day called me to his dyin' bed
Put his hands on my
And in his he said

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

Two later Papa passed away, and
I a man that day
So I told I was gonna quit school, but
She said that was Daddy's strictest

So mornin' 'fore I went to school
I fed the and I chopped wood too
Sometimes I that I couldn't go on
I to leave, just run away from home
But I would remember what my daddy
With 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 rain
And washed all the away
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 the fields
that's the only way we got our meals
You see, I was the oldest of the
And everybody depended on me
Every I heard my Mama pray
Lord, give him the strength to another day

So years passed and all the kids are grown
The angels took to a brand new home
Lord knows, people, I tears
But my daddy's voice kept me through the

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

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

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