Patches

Down by the river that flows by the coal yards.
Stand wooden houses with shutters torn down.
There lives a girl everybody calls, Patches,
Patches, my darling, of Old Shanty Town.

We planned 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 watchin' the door.
She dosn't know that I can't come to see her,
[ Letras de Canciones encontraron en es.mp3lyrics.org/KNp ]
Patches must think that I love her no more.

I hear a neighbor tellin' my father,
He says 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 comin' to you.
