Patches (Remastered 2023)歌词完整版
Patches - Alabama
I was born and raised down in Alabama
On a farm up way in back the woods
I was so ragged that folks used to call me patches
Papa used to tease me about it
Of course deep down inside he was hurt 'cause he done all he could
Papa was a great old man
I can see him with a shovel in his hand
See education he never had
He did wonders when the time got bad
The little money from the crops he raised
Barely paid the bills he made
So life had kicked him down to the ground
When he get tried up to
Life would him kick back down
One day papa called me to dying his bed
Put his hands on my shoulders
Then with a tears said he
Patches I'm depending on you son
To pull the family through son my it's all left up to you
Two days later papa passed away
And I became a man that day
So I told mama I was gonna quit school
She said that was daddy's strictest rule
So every morning 'fore I went to school
I fed the chickens and I chopped wood too
Sometimes I felt that I couldn't go on
I wanted to leave just away run from home
But I always remembered what my daddy said
With tears in his eyes on his dying bed
He said patches I'm depending on you son
To pull the family through my son it's all left up to you
Then one day a strong rain came and washed all the crops away
And at the age of thirteen I thought carrying I was
The weight of the whole world on my shoulders
Know but mama you she knew what I was going through
Everyday I had to work the fields
'Cause that's the only got way we our meals
You see I was the oldest of a family
And everybody else depended on me
Every night I heard my mama pray
Lord give him the strength to make another day
Though years have passed and all the kids are grown
And angels took my mama to a brand new home
Lord knows people that I shed a tear
My daddy's voice kept a tinging in my ears
Saying patches I'm depending on you son
To pull the through family my son it's all left up to you
Patches I'm depending on you son
To pull the family through my son
