I was born and raised down in Alabama[00:02:31]

On a farm way back up in the woods[00:02:31]

I was so ragged the folks used to call me Patches[00:02:31]

Papa used to tease me about it [00:02:31]

Course deep down inside, he was hurt [00:02:31]

'Cause he'd done all he could[00:02:31]

My papa was a great old man[00:02:31]

I can see him with a shovel in his hand[00:02:31]

See, education he never had[00:02:31]

He did wonders when the times got bad[00:02:31]

The little money from the crops he raised[00:02:31]

Barely paid the bills we made[00:02:31]

Oh, life had kicked him down to the ground[00:02:31]

When he tried to get up, life would kick him back down[00:02:31]

One day, papa called me to his dyin' bed[00:02:31]

Put his hands on my shoulders and in tears he said[00:02:31]

He said, "Patches, I'm depending on you, son[00:02:31]

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

My son, it's all left up to you"[00:02:31]

Two days later papa passed away[00:02:31]

And I became a man that day[00:02:31]

So I told mama I was gonna quit school[00:02:31]

But she said that was daddy's strictest rule[00:02:31]

So every morning 'fore I went to school[00:02:31]

I fed the chickens and I chopped wood too[00:02:31]

Sometimes I felt that I couldn't go on[00:02:31]

I wanted to leave, just run away from home[00:02:31]

But I would remember what my daddy said[00:02:31]

With tears in his eyes on his dyin' bed[00:02:31]

He said, "Patches, I'm depending on you, son[00:02:31]

I've tried to do my best[00:02:31]

It's up to you to do the rest"[00:02:31]

Then one day a strong rain came and washed all the crops away[00:02:31]

And at the age of thirteen I thought I was carrying the weight of the whole world on my shoulders[00:02:31]

And you know, mama knew what I was going through, 'cause[00:02:31]

Every day I had to work the fields[00:02:31]

'Cause that's the only way we got our meals[00:02:31]

See, I was the oldest of the family[00:02:31]

And everybody else depended on me[00:02:31]

Every night I heard my mama pray[00:02:31]

"Lord, give him strength to make another day"[00:02:31]

Though years have passed and all the kids have grown[00:02:31]

The angels took mama to a brand new home[00:02:31]

Lord knows, people, I shedded tears[00:02:31]

But my daddy's voice helped me through the years[00:02:31]

Saying, "Patches, I'm depending on you, son[00:02:31]

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

My son, it's all left up to you"[00:02:31]

Oh, I could still hear papa's voice saying[00:02:31]

"Patches, I'm depending on you, son[00:02:31]

I've tried to do my best[00:02:31]

It's up to you to do the rest"[00:02:31]

I could still hear papa when he's saying[00:02:31]

"Patches, I'm depending on you, son[00:02:31]

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

My son, it's all left up to you"[00:02:31]
