Patches
Down by the river
- 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 telling 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 coming to you
Come to join my duet!
