Patches
In the style of
Lyrics
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 darlin'
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
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 doesn't know
that i can't come
to see her
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 facedown
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 comin' to you
