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 to tease me about it
But deep down dad was hurtin'
'Cause he done the best he do

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

Oh, put him down to the ground
When he tried to get up, life would kick him 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, everyday I had to work the
'Cause that's the only way we got our
See, I was the oldest of the
And everybody was on me

Now, years passed, everybody's grown
Mama's been living in a brand new
knows it took a lot of sweat and tears
And my daddy's 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 after we'd our chores and eat our dinner
all go into papa's room to cheer him up a little
And this particular day, Dad was in good
on the side of the bed telling mama how good she looked
When all of a sudden papa had a pain in his

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

Daddy had tears in his eyes, I knew something was
'Cause Daddy was a man but all of my life he'd been a proud man
I knelt down on one knee the bed
Papa put his hand on my
He said, "Patches, Patches boy, the hammer of life done
Your old down 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 gonna do your best to your mama
As much as you can", I said, "Papa I'm do my best"
But little did I know then I know right now
trying to climb life's mountain
Searching for a top when there no top

Sometimes you find yourself frustrated,
But every time I like I can't live my life like I want to
My mind goes back to day
When I see tears in my Daddy's eyes
But most of all I remember his
"Patches, I'm on you boy"

Every time I feel like giving up I his voice
"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
tried to do my best, it's up you to do the rest"

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