[00:00:00] Patches - Dickey Lee

[00:00:01] Written by：Mann/Kolber

[00:00:02] Down by the river that flows by the coal yards

[00:00:09] Stands wooden houses with shutters torn down

[00:00:16] There lives a girl everybody calls patches

[00:00:23] Patches my darling of old shanty town

[00:00:32] We plan to marry when june brought the summer

[00:00:39] I couldn't wait to make patches my bride

[00:00:46] Now I don't see how that ever can happen

[00:00:53] My folks say no and my heart breaks inside

[00:01:00] Patches oh what can I do

[00:01:07] I swear I'll always love you

[00:01:13] But a girl from that place would just bring me

[00:01:18] Disgrace

[00:01:20] So my folks won't let me love you

[00:01:27] Each night I cry as I think of that shanty

[00:01:34] And pretty patches there watching the door

[00:01:41] She dosn't know that I can't come to see her

[00:01:48] Patches must think that I love her no more

[00:01:57] I hear a neighbor tellin' my father

[00:02:04] He said a girl name of patches was found

[00:02:11] Floating face down in that dirty old river

[00:02:18] That flows by the coal yards in old shanty town

[00:02:25] Patches oh what can I do

[00:02:32] I swear I'll always love you

[00:02:38] It may not be right but I'll join you tonight

[00:02:46] Patches I'm coming to you
