Patches - Alabama[00:00:00]

I was born and raised down in Alabama[00:00:01]

On a farm up way in back the woods[00:00:04]

I was so ragged that folks used to call me patches[00:00:07]

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

Of course deep down inside he was hurt 'cause he done all he could[00:00:12]

Papa was a great old man[00:00:16]

I can see him with a shovel in his hand[00:00:18]

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

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 he made[00:00:30]

So life had kicked him down to the ground[00:00:33]

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

Life would him kick back down[00:00:38]

One day papa called me to dying his bed[00:00:40]

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

Then with a tears said he[00:00:44]

Patches I'm depending on you son[00:00:46]

To pull the family through son my it's all left up to you[00:00:49]

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

And I became a man that day[00:01:04]

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

She said that was daddy's strictest rule[00:01:09]

So every morning 'fore I went to school[00:01:12]

I fed the chickens and I chopped wood too[00:01:15]

Sometimes I felt that I couldn't go on[00:01:18]

I wanted to leave just away run from home[00:01:21]

But I always remembered what my daddy said[00:01:24]

With tears in his eyes on his dying bed[00:01:27]

He said patches I'm depending on you son[00:01:30]

To pull the family through my son it's all left up to you[00:01:34]

Then one day a strong rain came and washed all the crops away[00:01:45]

And at the age of thirteen I thought carrying I was[00:01:51]

The weight of the whole world on my shoulders[00:01:53]

Know but mama you she knew what I was going through[00:01:55]

Everyday I had to work the fields[00:02:00]

'Cause that's the only got way we our meals[00:02:03]

You see I was the oldest of a family[00:02:05]

And everybody else depended on me[00:02:09]

Every night I heard my mama pray[00:02:12]

Lord give him the strength to make another day[00:02:14]

Though years have passed and all the kids are grown[00:02:19]

And angels took my mama to a brand new home[00:02:22]

Lord knows people that I shed a tear[00:02:25]

My daddy's voice kept a tinging in my ears[00:02:29]

Saying patches I'm depending on you son[00:02:31]

To pull the through family my son it's all left up to you[00:02:34]

Patches I'm depending on you son[00:02:44]

To pull the family through my son[00:02:48]
