Patches(LP版)

Patches (LP版) - 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[00:00:03]

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

Papa used to tease me ‘bout it[00:00:09]

Of course deep down inside he was hurt[00:00:11]

‘Cause he’d 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[00:00:18]

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[00:00:33]

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

One day papa called me to his dyin’ 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’m dependin’ on you son[00:00:45]

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

My son it’s all left up to you”[00:00:52]

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’s strictest rule[00:01:08]

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

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

Sometimes I felt that I couldn’t go on[00:01:17]

I wanted to leave just run away from home[00:01:20]

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

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

He said “Patches[00:01:29]

I’m dependin’ on you son[00:01:30]

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

It’s up to you to do the rest”[00:01:36]

But then one day a strong rain came[00:01:45]

And washed all the crops away[00:01:47]

And at the age of 13[00:01:49]

I thought I was carryin’ the weight of the whole world on my shoulders[00:01:52]

And you know mama knew what I was going through[00:01:55]

‘Cause every day I had to work the fields[00:01:58]

‘Cause that’s the only way we got our meals[00:02:02]

You see I was the oldest of the family[00:02:04]

And everybody else depended on me[00:02:08]

Every night I heard my mama pray[00:02:11]

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

4 years have passed and all the kids have grown[00:02:16]

The angels took mama to a brand new home[00:02:19]

God knows people I she'd tears[00:02:22]

But my daddy’s voice kept me through the years[00:02:25]

Sayin’ Patches[00:02:28]

I’m dependin on you son[00:02:29]

To pull the family through[00:02:32]

My son it’s all left up to you”[00:02:36]

I can still hear papa when he said “Patches[00:02:41]

I’m dependin’ on you son[00:02:45]

I tried to do my best[00:02:48]

It’s up to you to do the rest”[00:02:50]

I can still hear papa when he said “Patches[00:02:56]

I’m dependin’ on you son[00:02:59]

To pull the family through[00:03:03]
