Luyện nghe bài hát Patches

I was born and raised down in
On a farm way back up in the
Oh, I was so ragged, folks call me Patches
Papa to tease me about it
But deep down inside dad was
'Cause he done the he could do

My was a great old man
I can see him with a in his hand
Education never had
But he did wonders the times got bad
The little money from the we raised
Barely paid the bills we

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

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

Two days later passed away
And I became a man day
So, I had to work the fields
'Cause that's the only way we got our
See, I was the oldest of the
And everybody was on me

Now, years have passed, grown
Mama's been living in a new home
Lord knows it took a lot of sweat and
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, all left up to you"

Daddy had been sick for a time, flat on his back
Every evening we'd finished our chores and eat our dinner
all go into papa's room to cheer him up a little
And this particular day, Dad was in good
on the side of the bed telling mama how good 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 all of us out of the room into the hallway
About ten minutes later she came out with tears in her
She out to me
"Patches, patches get in here boy Daddy want to see you"
I went running to papa's there papa lay there

Daddy had tears in his eyes, I something was wrong
'Cause Daddy was a poor man but all of my life been a proud man
I knelt down on one beside the bed
put his hand on my shoulder
He said, "Patches, Patches boy, the hammer of life done
Your old papa down to the ground and I ain't got
To to take care of mama and the young ones"

"So, I want you to do is promise me son
Is that you're gonna do your best to help mama
As as you can", I said, "Papa I'm gonna do my best"
But little did I then like I know right now
That trying to climb mountain
Searching for a top when there no top

Sometimes you yourself frustrated, lazy
But every time I feel like I live my life like I want to
My mind back 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"

Every time I feel like giving up I hear his
"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 the family through, my son, it's all left up to you"
