Patches

[00:04.21] Down by the river that flows by the coal yards.
[00:12.15] Stands wooden houses with shutters torn down
[00:18.98] There lives a girl everybody calls Patches
[00:25.63] Patches my darling of Old Shanty town
[00:34.59] We plan to marry when June brought the summer
[00:41.35] I couldn't wait to make Patches my bride
[00:48.56] Now I don't see how that ever can happen
[00:55.21] My folks say No, and my heart breaks inside
[01:02.28] Patches oh what can I do
[01:08.77] I swear I'll always love you
[01:15.39] But a girl from that place would just bring me disgrace
[01:22.51] So my folks won't let me love you
[01:29.60] Each night I cry as I think of that shanty
[01:36.02] And pretty Patches there watching the door
[01:43.69] She dosn't know that I can't come to see her
[01:50.36] Patches must think that I love her no more
[01:59.12] I hear a neighbor tellin my father
[02:05.83] He said a girl name of Patches was found
[02:12.65] Floating face down in that dirty old river
[02:19.30] That flows by the coal yards in Old Shanty Town
[02:26.61] Patches oh what can I do
[02:33.64] I swear I'll always love you
[02:39.90] It may not be right But I'll join you tonight
[02:47.24] Patches I'm coming to you.
