(Unknown) - Patches
I was born down in Alabama
on a farm way back up in the woods.
I was so ragged
the folks used to call me Patches.
Papa used to tease me 'bout it
' course, deep down inside he was hurt
'cause he'd done all he could.
My 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 times got bad.
The liitle money from the crops he raised,
well, it payed the bills we made.
Oh, life had kicked him down to the ground,
when he tried to get up life would kick him back down.
One day papa called me to his dyin' bed,
put his hands on my shoulders
and in tears he said,
He said "Patches, I'm depending on you son,
to pull the family through,
my son, 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 goin' to quit school,
but she said that was daddy's strictest rule.
So every mornin' '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 run away from home.
But I would remember what my daddy said
with tears in his eyes on his dyin' bed
He said "Patches, I'm depending on you son,
I tried to do my best,
It's up to you to do the rest."
Then one day a strong rain came
and washed all the crops away.
And at the age of thirteen,I thought I was carrying
the weight of the whole world on my shoulders.
And you know, mama knew
what I was going through, 'cause
Every day I had to work the fields,
'cause that's the only way we got our meals.
See, I was the oldest of the family,
and everybody else depended on me.
Everynight I heard my mama pray
"Lord, give him strength to make another day."
Now the years have passed and the kids have grown,
the angels took mama to a brand new home.
Lord knows, people, I sheded tears,
but my daddy's voice kept me through the years.
Saying "Patches, I'm depending on you son,
to pull the family through,
my son, it's all left up to you."
Aw, I can still hear papa's voice sayin'
"Patches, I'm depending on you son,
I tried to do my best,
