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 down inside dad was hurtin'
'Cause he done the best he do

My papa was a old man
I can see him with a shovel in his
daddy never had
But he did when the times got bad
The little money from the we raised
Barely paid the we made

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

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

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

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

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

Daddy had been sick for a long time, flat on his
Every evening we'd finished our chores and eat our dinner
We'd all go papa's room to cheer him up a little
And this particular day, Dad was in good
Sitting on the side of the bed telling mama how good she
When all of a 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 room into the
About ten minutes later she came out with tears in her
She out to me
"Patches, patches get in here boy Daddy want to see you"
I went running to papa's room there lay there

Daddy had tears in his eyes, I knew something was
Daddy was a poor man but all of my life he'd been a proud man
I knelt down on one beside the bed
Papa put his hand on my
He said, "Patches, Patches boy, the hammer of life done
Your old papa to the ground and I ain't got nobody
To to take care of mama 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 much as you can", I said, "Papa I'm do my best"
But little did I know like 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 I feel like I can't live my life like I want to
My goes back to that day
When I see those in my Daddy's 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 tried to do my best, up you to do the rest"

"Patches, I'm on you son
tried 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"
