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, folks used me Patches
used to tease me about it
But deep down dad was hurtin'
'Cause he done the best he 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 money from the crops we raised
Barely paid the we made

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

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

Two days later papa 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, everybody's
Mama's been living in a new home
knows it took a lot of sweat and tears
And my daddy's 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
evening after we'd finished our chores and eat our dinner
We'd all go into papa's room to cheer him up a
And this day, Dad was in good spirits
on the side of the bed telling mama how good she looked
When all of a papa had a pain in his chest

I was too young to understand, talking about a heart attack
rushed all of us out of the room 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 went running to room there papa lay there

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

"So, what I you to do is promise me son
Is that gonna do your best to help your mama
As much as you can", I said, "Papa I'm do my best"
But little did I know then I know right now
That trying to life's mountain
for a top when there ain't no top

Sometimes you yourself frustrated, lazy
But every time I feel I can't live my life like I want to
My mind goes to that day
When I see tears in my Daddy's eyes
But most of all I remember his
"Patches, I'm on you boy"

time I feel like 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
I've tried to do my best, 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"
