Clarence Carter âPatchesâ Capo 4
Written by: Catfish
G
I was born and raised down in Alabama
Bm
On a farm way back up in the woods
G7
I was so raggedy, folks used call me, âPatchesâ
C Bm Am
Papa used to tease me âbout it
G E
Of course deep down inside he was hurt
Am
âCause heâd done all he could
D
My papa was a great olâ man
C
I can see him with a shovel in his hand
D
See, education he never had
C
But he did wonders when the time got bad
D
The little money from the crops he raised
C
Barely paid the bills we made
G Bb
Oh, life it kicked him down to the ground
C G
When he tried to get up, life would kick him back down
G Bb
One day papa called me to his dyinâ bed
C G
Put his hands on my shoulders and in tears he said
G
He said, âPatches
Bm
Iâm dependinâ on you, son
G7
To pull the family through
C Bm Am G E Am
My son, itâs all left up to youâ
D
Two days later papa passed away
C
And I became a man that day
D
So I told mama I was gonna quit school
C
But she said that was daddyâs strictest rule
D
So every morning âfore I went to school
C
I fed the chickens and I chopped wood too
