education he never had
It s all left up to you, barely paid the bills he made Patches, cause he done all he could
it s all left up to you
so every morning fore i went to school
though years have passed and all the kids are grown
and everybody else depended on me
Then one day a strong rain came, i m depending on you son
Sometimes i felt that i couldn t go on, she said that was daddy s strictest rule
he did wonders when the times got bad
Everyday i had to work the fields, one day papa called me to his dyin bed
It s all left up to you, to pull the family through Alabama, it s all left up to you
papa was a great old man
She said that was daddy s strictest rule, life would kick him back down, lord knows people that i shed a tear
So i told mama i was gonna quit school, everyday i had to work the fields
Then with a tears he said, mama she knew what i was going through
when he tried to get up
It s all left up to you, to pull the family through, one day papa called me to his dyin bed
Mama she knew what i was going through, though years have passed and all the kids are grown
on a farm way back up in the woods
I fed the chickens and i chopped wood too, i can see him with a shovel in his hand
And everybody else depended on me, education he never had
though years have passed and all the kids are grown
Education he never had, i can see him with a shovel in his hand
Sometimes i felt that i couldn t go on, so life had kicked him down to the ground
then one day a strong rain came
i wanted to leave this but i wanted a home
And amgels took my mama to a brand new home, i fed the chickens and i chopped wood too Patches, everyday i had to work the fields
it s all left up to you
It s all left up to you, one day papa called me to his dyin bed
But you know, then one day a strong rain came, to pull the family through
I fed the chickens and i chopped wood too, so every morning fore i went to school Patches, mama she knew what i was going through
