Karaoke Track: Patches by Clarence Carter (Sunfly)

I was born and
raised down in Alabama

My papa was a great old man

When he tried to get up
life would kick him back down
One day papa called me
to his dying bed

He said, Patches I&#39;m depending
on you son

To pull the family through
My son it&#39;s all left up to you

Two days later papa
passed away
and I became a man that day

He said, Patches I&#39;m depending
on you son

I tried to do my best
It&#39;s up to you to (lo the rest

But then one day
a strong rain came and

And at the age of thirteen
I thought I was carrying

the weight of the whole
world on my shoulders I

&#39;Cos every day
I had to work the fields

Saying, Patches I&#39;m depending
on you son

To pull the family through
My son it&#39;s all left up to you

He said, Patches I&#39;m depending
on you son

I tried to do my best
It&#39;s up to you to (lo the rest
