Luyện nghe bài hát Patches

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

My papa was a old man
I can see him with a shovel in his
Education daddy had
But he did when the times got bad
The little money the crops we raised
Barely paid the we made

Oh, life put him to the ground
When he tried to get up, life would kick him back
On the day called me to his dying bed
Placed his hands on my 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 days later papa away
And I a man that day
So, I had to work the fields
'Cause that's the way we got our meals
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
Lord knows it took a lot of and tears
And my daddy's voice helped that us 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, 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 day, Dad was in good spirits
Sitting on the side of the bed telling mama how she looked
When all of a sudden had a pain in his chest

I was too young to understand, about a heart attack here
Mama rushed all of us out of the into the hallway
About ten minutes later she came out tears in her eyes
She out to me
"Patches, patches get in here boy you're want to see you"
I running to papa's room there papa 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 been a man
I down on one knee beside the bed
put his hand on my shoulder
He said, "Patches, Patches boy, the hammer of life beat
Your old down to the ground and I ain't got nobody
To turn to take care of 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 as you can", I said, "Papa I'm gonna do my best"
But little did I know then like I know now
That trying to life's mountain
Searching for a top when 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 back to day
When I see those in my Daddy's eyes
But most of all I remember his
"Patches, I'm on you boy"

Every I feel 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
I've 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"
