Patches

[00:01.81] Down by the river that flows by the coal yards.
[00:09.31] Stands wooden houses with shutters torn down
[00:16.24] There lives a girl everybody calls Patches
[00:23.36] Patches my darling of Old Shanty town
[00:31.22] We plan to marry when June brought the summer
[00:38.92] I couldn't wait to make Patches my bride
[00:46.23] Now I don't see how that ever can happen
[00:52.91] My folks say No, and my heart breaks inside
[01:00.17] Patches oh what can I do
[01:06.52] I swear I'll always love you
[01:13.43] But a girl from that place would just bring me disgrace
[01:20.43] So my folks won't let me love you
[01:27.78] Each night I cry as I think of that shanty
[01:34.85] And pretty Patches there watching the door
[01:41.39] She dosn't know that I can't come to see her
[01:48.64] Patches must think that I love her no more
[01:57.59] I hear a neighbor tellin my father
[02:04.67] He said a girl name of Patches was found
[02:11.49] Floating face down in that dirty old river
[02:18.18] That flows by the coal yards in Old Shanty Town
[02:25.50] Patches oh what can I do
[02:32.03] I swear I'll always love you
[02:39.18] It may not be right But I'll join you tonight
[02:46.16] Patches I'm coming to you.
