Patches - Clarence Carter (克拉伦斯·卡特)[00:00:00]

I was born and raised down in Alabama[00:00:02]

On a farm way back up in the woods[00:00:05]

I was so raggedy folks used call me Patches[00:00:07]

Papa used to tease me out it[00:00:10]

Deep down inside he was hurt[00:00:12]

Abuse he done all he could[00:00:13]

My papa was a great ol man[00:00:16]

I can see him with a shovel in his hand[00:00:19]

See education he never had[00:00:21]

But he did wonders when the time got bad[00:00:24]

The little money from the crops he raised[00:00:27]

Barely paid the bills we made[00:00:30]

Oh life it kicked him down to the ground[00:00:32]

When he tried to get up life would kick him back down[00:00:35]

One day papa called me to his dying bed[00:00:38]

Put his hands on my shoulders and in tears he said[00:00:41]

He said Patches[00:00:44]

I depending on you son[00:00:45]

To pull the family through[00:00:48]

My son it all left up to you[00:00:51]

Two days later papa passed away[00:01:00]

And I became a man that day[00:01:03]

So I told mama I was gonna quit school[00:01:06]

But she said that was daddy strictest rule[00:01:08]

So every morning ore I went to school[00:01:11]

I fed the chickens and I chopped wood too[00:01:14]

Sometimes I felt that I couldn't go on[00:01:16]

I wanted to leave just run away from home[00:01:19]

But I would remember what my daddy said[00:01:22]

With tears in his eyes on his dying bed[00:01:25]

He said Patches[00:01:28]

I depending on you son[00:01:29]

I tried to do my best[00:01:32]

It up to you to do the rest[00:01:35]

Then one day a strong rain came[00:01:44]

And washed all the crops away[00:01:46]

And at the age of 13[00:01:50]

I thought I was carrying the weight of the whole world on my shoulders[00:01:51]

Mama knew what I was going through[00:01:55]

Because every day I had to work the fields[00:01:57]

Abuse that the only way we got our meals[00:02:01]

You see I was the oldest of the family[00:02:03]

And everybody else depended on me[00:02:06]

Every night I heard my mama pray[00:02:10]

Lord give him strength to face another day[00:02:12]

4 years have passed and all the kids have grown[00:02:14]

The angels took mama to a brand new home[00:02:18]

God knows people I she'd tears[00:02:20]

But my daddy voice kept me through the years[00:02:23]

Saying Patches[00:02:26]

I depending on you son[00:02:27]

To pull the family through[00:02:30]

My son it all left up to you[00:02:33]

He said Patches[00:02:40]

I depending on you son[00:02:42]

I tried to do my best[00:02:45]

It up to you to do the rest[00:02:48]
