| Post subject: | Looking for song... |
I was reading the singers forum and found a topic about crying... anyways, someone mentioned a song called "Patches". I remember this song from when I was young and it brought back some memories, but I am pretty sure the rendition I heard was not clarence carter. I am now on a mission to find the singer of the song I heard. I can tell you it was sort of country sounding, and I was thinking Johny Cash maybe? Can anyone help me to find this singer or song? Thanks a ton! |

Patches Dickie Lee 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 will 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 doesn'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 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. |

Clarence Carter did a remake of "Chairmen of the Board's" Patches a few years later.. "Patches I'm depending on you" ? Maybe you heard Chairmen of the Board the original 60's rendition.. |

Here's everything you might wish to know about the Song, Blackrose.. Carter recorder several renditions, however a few weren't as good as others in the opinions of others... Song: Patches ~~ 1970 ~~ 3:10 Artist: Clarence Carter LP/CD: Patches ~~ Atlantic ~~ 1970 Composers: Ronald Dunbar~General Johnson Also recorded by: Chairmen Of The Board -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was born and raised down in Alabama On a farm way back up in the woods I was so raggedy, folks used call me, “Patches” Papa used to tease me ‘bout it Of course deep down inside he was hurt ‘Cause he’d done all he could My papa was a great ol’ man I can see him with a shovel in his hand See, education he never had But he did wonders when the time got bad The little money from the crops he raised Barely paid the bills we made Oh, life it 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 dependin’ on you, son To pull the family through My son, it’s all left up to you” 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 dependin’ on you, son I tried to do my best It’s up to you to do the rest” But then one day a strong rain came And washed all the crops away And at the age of 13 I thought I was carryin’ the weight of the whole world on my shoulders And you know mama knew what I was going through ‘Cause every day I had to work the fields ‘Cause that’s the only way we got our meals You 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 face another day 4 years have passed and all the kids have grown The angels took mama to a brand new home God knows people, I shed tears But my daddy’s voice kept me through the years Sayin’, “Patches I’m dependin’ on you, son To pull the family through My son, it’s all left up to you” I can still hear papa when he said, “Patches I’m dependin’ on you, son I tried to do my best It’s up to you to do the rest” I can still hear papa when he said, “Patches I’m dependin’ on you, son To pull the family through” |

Also this is interesting.. I found a site that said Carter recorded several renditions of the song, the LP version was the best, his 45 version was done in mono, and is muddier sounding, with poorer quality on the instruments.. So depending on even "HIS" renditions, they might not sound identical... A few were discussing that they were looking for the song, found different renditions of Clarence Carters recordings, and some were horrible sounding, but the LP version was the best. Incidently, "Chairmen of the Board", wasn't Frank Sinatra with them ? Count Basie group ??????? |

I found the song, the song I was looking for was Patches by Alabama. The best version I think! |
