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 used to tease me it
But deep down inside dad was
'Cause he the best he could do

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

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

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

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

Now, years have passed, everybody's
been living 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 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 we'd our chores and eat our dinner
We'd all go into papa's room to 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 had a pain in his chest

I was too to understand, talking about a heart attack here
Mama rushed all of us out of the room the hallway
About ten later 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 there lay there

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

"So, what I want you to do is me son
Is that you're gonna do your best to your mama
As as you can", I said, "Papa I'm gonna do my best"
But little did I know then I know right now
That trying to climb life's
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 like I want to
My mind goes back to day
I see those tears in my Daddy's eyes
But most of all I 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 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 the family through, my son, it's all left up to you"
