Luyện nghe bài hát Patches

I was born and down 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'
he done the best he could 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 from the crops we raised
Barely paid the bills we

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

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

Two days papa passed away
And I a man that 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, everybody's
Mama's been in a brand 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 family through, my son, it's all up to you"

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

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

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

"So, I want you to do is promise me son
Is you're gonna 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
for a top when there ain't no top

Sometimes you find yourself frustrated,
But every time I feel like I can't live my life I want to
My mind goes back to day
When I see tears in my Daddy's eyes
But of all I remember his words
"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 tried to do my best, up you to do the rest"

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

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