Luyện nghe bài hát Patches

I was born and raised in Alabama
On a farm way up in the woods
I was so that folks used to call me Patches
used to tease me about it
'Cause down inside he was hurt
'Cause he'd done all he

My papa was a old man
I can see him with a in his hands, see
he never had
He did when the times got bad
The little money from the crops he
Barely paid the bills we

For, life had kick him to the ground
he tried to get up
Life kick him back down
One day Papa called me to his bed
Put his hands on my
And in his he said

He said,
I'm on you, son
To pull the through
My son, it's all up to you

Two days later Papa away, and
I became a man day
So I told I was gonna quit school, but
She said was Daddy's strictest rule

So every mornin' I went to school
I fed the and I chopped wood too
I felt that I couldn't go on
I to leave, just run away from home
But I would remember what my daddy
With tears in his eyes on his bed

He said,
I'm on you, son
I tried to do my
It's up to you to do the

one day a strong rain came
And washed all the crops
And at the age of 13 I
I was the weight of the
Whole on my shoulders
And you know, Mama
What I was goin' through,

Every day I had to work the
'Cause that's the only way we got our
You see, I was the oldest of the
And everybody else on me
Every I heard my Mama pray
Lord, give him the strength to make day

So years have passed and all the kids are
The took Mama to a brand new home
Lord knows, people, I tears
But my daddy's voice kept me through the

Sing,
Patches, I'm on you, son
To pull the family
My son, all left up to you

Oh, I can still Papa's voice sayin'
Patches, I'm on you, son
I've tried to do my
It's up to you to do the

I can still hear Papa, he said
Patches, I'm on you, son
To the family through
My son, all left up to you
