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 down inside dad was
he done the best he could do

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

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

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

Two later papa passed away
And I a man that day
So, everyday I had to the fields
that's the only way we got our meals
See, I was the oldest of the
And was depending on me

Now, years have passed, grown
Mama's been living in a brand new
knows it took a lot of sweat and tears
And my daddy's voice helped us through the years

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

Daddy had sick for a long time, flat on his back
Every evening after finished 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
on the side of the bed telling mama how good she looked
When all of a sudden papa had a in his chest

I was too young to understand, talking a heart attack here
Mama all of us out of the room into the hallway
ten minutes 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 room there papa lay there

Daddy had tears in his eyes, I knew was wrong
'Cause Daddy was a man but all of my life he'd been a proud man
I knelt on one knee beside the bed
Papa put his on my shoulder
He said, "Patches, boy, the hammer of life done beat
Your old papa down to the ground and I got nobody
To turn to take care of and the young ones"

"So, what I you to do is promise me son
Is you're gonna do your best to help your mama
As much as you can", I said, "Papa I'm do my best"
But did I know then like I know right now
That trying to climb 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 like I want to
My mind goes to that day
When I see those in my Daddy's eyes
But of all I remember his words
"Patches, I'm on you boy"

Every time I feel 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 pull the family through, my son, all left up to you"
