Patches - Anthony Armstrong Jones[00:00:00]

I was born and raised down in Alabama[00:00:04]

On a farm way back up in the woods[00:00:07]

I was so ragged that folks used to call me Patches[00:00:09]

Papa used to tease me about it[00:00:12]

'Cause deep down inside he was hurt[00:00:14]

'Cause he done all he could[00:00:16]

My papa was a great old man[00:00:18]

I can see him with a shovel in his hands see[00:00:21]

Education he never had[00:00:23]

He did wonders when the times got bad[00:00:26]

The little money from the crops he raised[00:00:28]

Barely paid the bills we made[00:00:31]

For life had kick him down to the ground[00:00:33]

When he tried to get up[00:00:36]

Life would kick him back down[00:00:37]

One day Papa called me to his dying bed[00:00:39]

Put his hands on my shoulders[00:00:41]

And in his tears he said[00:00:42]

He said Patches[00:00:44]

I'm depending on you son[00:00:44]

To pull the family through[00:00:47]

My son it's all left up to you[00:00:50]

Two days later Papa passed away and[00:00:58]

I became a man that day[00:00:59]

So I told Mama I was gonna quit school but[00:01:02]

She said that was Daddy's strictest rule[00:01:05]

So every morning fore I went to school[00:01:07]

I fed the chickens and I chopped wood too[00:01:10]

Sometimes I felt that I couldn't go on[00:01:12]

I wanted to leave just run away from home[00:01:15]

But I would remember what my daddy said[00:01:17]

With tears in his eyes on his dying bed[00:01:20]

He said Patches[00:01:22]

I'm depending on you son[00:01:23]

I tried to do my best[00:01:26]

It's up to you to do the rest[00:01:29]

Then one day a strong rain came[00:01:36]

And washed all the crops away[00:01:38]

And at the age of 13 I thought[00:01:40]

I was carrying the weight of the[00:01:42]

Whole world on my shoulders[00:01:43]

And you know Mama knew[00:01:45]

What I was going through[00:01:46]

'Cause every day I had to work the fields[00:01:49]

'Cause that's the only way we got our meals[00:01:51]

You see I was the oldest of the family[00:01:54]

And everybody else depended on me[00:01:57]

Every night I heard my Mama pray[00:01:59]

Lord give him the strength to face another day[00:02:02]

So years have passed and all the kids are grown[00:02:04]

The angels took Mama to a brand new home[00:02:07]

Lord knows people I shedded tears[00:02:09]

But my daddy's voice kept me through the years[00:02:12]

Patches I'm depending on you son[00:02:14]

To pull the family through[00:02:18]

My son it's all left up to you[00:02:21]

I can still hear Papa's voice saying[00:02:25]

Patches I'm depending on you son[00:02:28]

To pull the family through[00:02:31]

My son it's all left up to you[00:02:34]
