Luyện nghe bài hát Patches

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

My papa was a old man
I can see him with a in his hand
Education never had
But he did wonders when the got bad
The little money from the crops we
Barely paid the we made

Oh, put him down to the ground
he tried to get up, life would 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 family through, my son, all left up to you"

Two days later papa passed
And I became a man day
So, everyday I had to work the
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, everybody's
Mama's been living in a brand new
Lord knows it took a lot of sweat and
And my daddy's voice that 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 been sick for a long time, on his back
Every evening after we'd finished our and eat our dinner
We'd all go into papa's room to him up a little
And this particular day, Dad was in 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, talking a heart attack here
Mama rushed all of us out of the into the hallway
About ten later she came out with tears in her eyes
She out to me
"Patches, patches get in here boy you're want to see you"
I went running to room there papa lay there

had tears in his eyes, I knew something 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 hand on my
He said, "Patches, boy, the hammer of life done beat
Your old papa 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 help your
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 climb mountain
Searching for a top when ain't no top

you find yourself frustrated, lazy
But every time I feel like I can't live my life like I to
My mind goes to that day
When I see those tears in my Daddy's
But most of all I remember his
"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 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 pull the family through, my son, it's all up to you"
