[00:00.00]Patches - Clarence Carter
[00:02.44]I was born and raised down in Alabama
[00:03.88]On a farm way back up in the woods
[00:07.20]I was so raggedy folks used call me “Patches”
[00:09.95]Papa used to tease me ‘bout it
[00:11.62]Of course deep down inside he was hurt
[00:13.48]‘Cause he’d done all he could
[00:14.79]
[00:16.07]My papa was a great ol’ man
[00:18.09]
[00:18.82]I can see him with a shovel in his hand
[00:21.20]See education he never had
[00:23.68]
[00:24.72]But he did wonders when the time got bad
[00:27.35]The little money from the crops he raised
[00:29.86]
[00:30.64]Barely paid the bills we made
[00:33.04]Oh life it kicked him down to the ground
[00:35.64]When he tried to get up life would kick him back down
[00:38.70]One day papa called me to his dyin’ bed
[00:41.01]Put his hands on my shoulders and in tears he said
[00:44.06]He said “Patches
[00:45.50]I’m dependin’ on you son
[00:48.24]To pull the family through
[00:51.11]
[00:52.07]My son it’s all left up to you”
[00:56.01]
[01:00.91]Two days later papa passed away
[01:02.41]
[01:03.05]And I became a man that day
[01:06.21]So I told mama I was gonna quit school
[01:08.54]But she said that was daddy’s strictest rule
[01:12.14]So every morning ‘fore I went to school
[01:14.81]I fed the chickens and I chopped wood too
[01:17.55]Sometimes I felt that I couldn’t go on
[01:20.19]I wanted to leave just run away from home
[01:22.95]But I would remember what my daddy said
[01:25.50]With tears in his eyes on his dyin’ bed
[01:29.04]He said “Patches
[01:30.40]I’m dependin’ on you son
[01:32.92]I tried to do my best
[01:35.54]
[01:36.20]It’s up to you to do the rest”
[01:41.56]
[01:45.59]But then one day a strong rain came
[01:47.63]And washed all the crops away
[01:49.34]And at the age of 13
[01:52.31]I thought I was carryin’ the weight of the whole world on my shoulders
[01:55.47]And you know mama knew what I was going through
[01:58.86]‘Cause every day I had to work the fields
[02:01.92]
[02:02.55]‘Cause that’s the only way we got our meals
[02:04.92]You see I was the oldest of the family
[02:08.03]
[02:08.56]And everybody else depended on me
[02:10.71]
[02:11.60]Every night I heard my mama pray
[02:13.74]
[02:14.28]Lord give him strength to face another day
[02:16.41]4 years have passed and all the kids have grown
[02:19.66]The angels took mama to a brand new home
[02:22.66]God knows people I she'd tears
[02:25.77]But my daddy’s voice kept me through the years
[02:28.61]Sayin’ Patches
[02:29.32]I’m dependin on you son
[02:32.00]
[02:32.98]To pull the family through
[02:35.21]
[02:36.25]My son it’s all left up to you”
[02:40.66]
[02:41.75]I can still hear papa when he said “Patches
[02:45.05]I’m dependin’ on you son
[02:47.32]
[02:48.24]I tried to do my best
[02:50.50]It’s up to you to do the rest”
[02:55.36]
[02:56.46]I can still hear papa when he said “Patches
[02:59.59]I’m dependin’ on you son
[03:02.35]
[03:03.28]To pull the family through
