(Spoken:) I was born and raised down in Alabama On a farm way back up in the woods I was so ragged the folks used to call me Patches Papa used to tease me about it 'Course 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 hand 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 Oh life had kicked 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 tears he said He said "Patches, I'm depending on you son, To pull the family through, My son, it's all left up to you"
(Spoken:) Two days later papa passed away And I became a man that day So I told mama I was gonna quit school But she said that was daddy's strictest rule
So every morning 'fore I went to school I fed the chickens and I chopped wood too Sometimes I felt that I couldn't go on I wanted to leave just run away from home But I would remember what my daddy said With tears in his eyes on his dyin' bed He said, "Patches, I'm depending on you son I tried to do my best, It's up to you to do the rest"
(Spoken:) Then one day a strong rain came And washed all the crops away And at the age of thirteen I thought I was carrying The weight of the whole world on my shoulders And you know, mama knew what I was going through, 'cause
Everyday I had to work the fields 'Cause that's the only way we got our meals See, I was the oldest of the family And everybody else depended on me Every night I heard my mama pray "Lord, give him strength to make another day" Though years have passed and all the kids are grown The angels took mama to a brand new home Lord knows people, I shed a tear My daddy's voice helped me through the years Sayin, "Patches, I'm depending on you son, To pull the family through, My son, it's all left up to you"
Oh, I could still hear papa's voice sayin' "Patches, I'm depending on you son, I tried to do my best, It's up to you to do the rest".
I could still hear papa when he's sayin' "Patches, I'm depending on you son, To pull the family through, My son, it's all left up to you" (Fade)
Baby, your love Makes me feel so good It's got me doing things, baby I never dreamed I would
But we got to check ourselves 'Cause we belong to someone else
And I can't leave your love alone I just can't leave your love alone When you chuck your love on me It's got me begging and crying
Wrecking every bone in my body Oh Lord, just tearing up my mind
It's been sunk in too deep And it's become a big part of me I can't leave your love alone I just can't leave your love alone
I know this slipping around Can be a dangerous thing But we got to keep on Taking these chances
I got my good luck piece in my hand Hoping they won't catch us Won't catch us red-handed, oh
The effect of your love Leave me shook up after you're gone Setting fire to my clothes, baby Leaving my body so warm
But I know what we're doing is wrong But I can't leave your love alone I just can't leave your love alone Oh Lord, I can't leave your love alone
All of my friends try to tell me But I just can't leave your love alone Oh, no, no, I can't leave your love alone It's got me, it's got me, it's got me so bad

Down by the river that flows by the coal yards. Stands wooden houses with shutters torn down There lives a girl everybody calls Patches Patches my darling of Old Shanty town
We plan to marry when June brought the summer I couldn't wait to make Patches my bride Now I don't see how that ever can happen My folks say No, and my heart breaks inside
Patches oh what can I do I swear I'll always love you But a girl from that place would just bring me disgrace So my folks won't let me love you
Each night I cry as I think of that shanty And pretty Patches there watching the door She dosn't know that I can't come to see her Patches must think that I love her no more
I hear a neighbor tellin my father He said a girl name of Patches was found Floating face down in that dirty old river That flows by the coal yards in Old Shanty Town
Patches oh what can I do I swear I'll always love you It may not be right But I'll join you tonight Patches I'm coming to you.
