Luyện nghe bài hát Patches

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

My was a great old man
I can see him with a shovel in his
daddy never had
But he did wonders when the got bad
The little from the crops we raised
paid the bills we made

Oh, life put him to the ground
When he tried to get up, life kick him back down
On the day papa called me to his bed
his hands 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 later papa passed away
And I a man that day
So, everyday I had to the fields
'Cause 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
Lord knows it a lot of sweat and tears
And my daddy's voice helped that us through the

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

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

I was too young to understand, talking about a heart here
Mama all of us out of the room 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 there lay there

Daddy had in his eyes, I knew something was wrong
'Cause Daddy was a poor man but all of my life he'd been a man
I knelt down on one knee the bed
Papa put his on my shoulder
He said, "Patches, Patches boy, the hammer of life beat
Your old papa down to the ground and I ain't got
To to take care of mama and the young ones"

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

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

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