[00:00.96]	I was born and raised down in Alabama
[00:03.39]	On a farm way back up in the woods
[00:06.30]	I was so ragged that folks used to call me Patches
[00:09.42]	Papa used to tease me about it
[00:10.86]	'Cause deep down inside he was hurt
[00:12.48]	'Cause he'd done all he could
[00:15.78]	My papa was a great old man
[00:18.81]	I can see him with a shovel in his hands, see
[00:21.78]	Education he never had
[00:24.87]	He did wonders when the times got bad
[00:27.78]	The little money from the crops he raised
[00:30.93]	Barely paid the bills we made
[00:33.03]	For, life had kick him down to the ground
[00:36.24]	When he tried to get up
[00:37.62]	Life would kick him back down
[00:39.18]	One day papa called me to his dyin' bed
[00:42.27]	Put his hands on my shoulders
[00:43.92]	And in his tears he said
[00:45.18]	He said, "Patches
[00:46.68]	I'm dependin' on you, son
[00:50.61]	To pull the family through
[00:51.90]	My son, it's all left up to you"
[01:01.71]	Two days later papa passed away
[01:04.71]	And I became a man that day
[01:07.14]	So I told mama I was gonna quit school
[01:09.06]	But she said that was daddy's strictest rule
[01:13.05]	So every mornin' 'fore I went to school
[01:16.20]	I fed the chickens and I chopped wood too
[01:18.54]	Sometimes I felt that I couldn't go on
[01:22.32]	I wanted to leave, just run away from home
[01:24.72]	But I would remember what my daddy said
[01:27.99]	With tears in his eyes on his dyin' bed
[01:30.60]	He said, "Patches
[01:33.24]	I'm dependin' on you, son
[01:36.09]	I tried to do my best
[01:38.49]	It's up to you to do the rest"
[01:47.31]	Then one day a strong rain came and washed all the crops away
[01:52.59]	And at the age of thirteen I thought I was carryin'
[01:55.11]	The weight of the whole world on my shoulders
[01:57.93]	And you know, Mama knew what I was goin' through, 'cause
[02:01.92]	Every day I had to work the fields
[02:04.77]	'Cause that's the only way we got our meals
[02:07.26]	See, I was the oldest of the family
[02:10.95]	And everybody else depended on me
[02:14.19]	Every night I heard my mama pray
[02:16.59]	Lord, give him the strength
[02:17.97]	To make another day
[02:19.95]	So years have passed and all the kids are grown
[02:22.77]	The angels took mama to a brand new home
[02:26.19]	Lord knows, people, I shedded tears
[02:28.53]	But my daddy's voice kept me through the years
[02:31.53]	Sing, "Patches
[02:32.97]	I'm dependin' on you, son
[02:34.23]	To pull the family through
[02:34.68]	My son, it's all left up to you"
[02:40.41]	Oh, I can still hear papa's voice sayin', "Patches
[02:48.06]	I'm dependin' on you, son
[02:51.99]	I've tried to do my best
[02:54.30]	It's up to you to do the rest"
