[00:00.000]	作词 : General Johnson/Ronald Dunbar
[00:00.429]	作曲 : General Johnson/Ronald Dunbar
[00:00.858]	I was born and raised down in Alabama
[00:04.251]	On a farm way back up in the woods
[00:06.484]	I was so raggedy folks used call me Patches
[00:08.752]	Papa used to tease me out it
[00:11.328]	Deep down inside he was hurt
[00:12.447]	Abuse he done all he could
[00:15.155]	My papa was a great ol man
[00:18.228]	I can see him with a shovel in his hand
[00:21.017]	See education he never had
[00:24.090]	But he did wonders when the time got bad
[00:26.878]	The little money from the crops he raised
[00:29.678]	Barely paid the bills we made
[00:32.478]	Oh life it kicked him down to the ground
[00:35.559]	When he tried to get up life would kick him back down
[00:38.343]	One day papa called me to his dying bed
[00:41.146]	Put his hands on my shoulders and in tears he said
[00:42.262]	He said Patches
[00:45.050]	I depending on you son
[00:48.123]	To pull the family through
[00:53.724]	My son it all left up to you
[00:58.196]
[01:00.146]	Two days later papa passed away
[01:02.661]	And I became a man that day
[01:05.453]	So I told mama I was gonna quit school
[01:08.808]	But she said that was daddy strictest rule
[01:11.605]	So every morning ore I went to school
[01:14.406]	I fed the chickens and I chopped wood too
[01:16.930]	Sometimes I felt that I couldn't go on
[01:20.004]	I wanted to leave just run away from home
[01:22.799]	But I would remember what my daddy said
[01:25.879]	With tears in his eyes on his dying bed
[01:27.281]	He said Patches
[01:30.072]	I depending on you son
[01:32.596]	I tried to do my best
[01:40.403]	It up to you to do the rest
[01:45.159]	Then one day a strong rain came
[01:47.394]	And washed all the crops away
[01:49.346]	And at the age of 13
[01:52.697]	I thought I was carrying the weight of the whole world on my shoulders
[01:55.769]	Mama knew what I was going through
[01:59.400]	Because every day I had to work the fields
[02:02.200]	Abuse that the only way we got our meals
[02:04.998]	You see I was the oldest of the family
[02:08.326]	And everybody else depended on me
[02:11.114]	Every night I heard my mama pray
[02:13.903]	Lord give him strength to face another day
[02:16.689]	4 years have passed and all the kids have grown
[02:22.572]	God knows people I she'd tears
[02:25.915]	But my daddy voice kept me through the years
[02:26.754]	Saying Patches
[02:29.550]	I depending on you son
[02:32.631]	To pull the family through
[02:39.074]	My son it all left up to you
[02:41.804]	He said Patches
[02:44.604]	I depending on you son
[02:47.688]	I tried to do my best
[02:50.527]	It up to you to do the rest
