Patches
Down by the river that flows
- 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 Shantytown
- 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 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 doesn'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 Shantytown
- 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
Let's listen to my solo!
