I was born and raised down in Alabama on a farm way back up in the woods
I was so ragged my folks used to call me Patches
Papa used to tease me about it cause 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 hands
See education he never had he did wonders when the times got bad
The little money from the crops he raised barely paid the bills we made
For life had kick 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 his tears 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 papy passed away and I became a man that day
So I told ma I was gonna quit school but she said that was daddy's strictest rule
Can anyone tell me who made this song and what is the name of it it would greatly help me out.
