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 call me Patches
Papa to tease me about it
But down inside dad was hurtin'
'Cause he done the he could do

My was a great old man
I can see him a shovel in his hand
Education never had
But he did wonders when the got bad
The little money from the crops we
Barely the bills we made

Oh, life put him down to the
When he tried to get up, life would 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 through, my son, it's all left up to you"

Two days later papa passed
And I a man that day
So, I had to work the fields
'Cause that's the way we got our meals
See, I was the oldest of the
And was depending 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 helped that us the years

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

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

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

Daddy had in his eyes, I knew something was wrong
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, boy, the hammer of life 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, I want you to do is promise me son
Is that you're do your 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 know now
That to climb life's mountain
Searching for a top when there no top

Sometimes you find frustrated, lazy
But every I feel like I can't 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 his words
"Patches, I'm on you boy"

Every time I feel 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 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, all left up to you"
