Composer: Dickey Lee Lipscomb
2
Down by the river that flows by the coal yards
3
Stands wooden houses with shutters torn down
4
There lives a girl everybody calls Patches
5
Patches my darling of Old Shanty town
6
We plan to marry when June brought the summer
7
I couldn't wait to make Patches my bride
8
Now I don't see how that ever can happen
9
My folks say no, and my heart breaks inside
10
Patches oh what can I do
11
I swear I'll always love you
12
But a girl from that place
13
Would just bring me disgrace
14
So my folks won't let me love you
15
Each night I cry as I think of that shanty
16
And pretty Patches there watchin' the door
17
She doesn't know that I can't come to see her
18
Patches must think that I love her no more
19
I hear a neighbor tellin' my father
20
He says a girl name of Patches was found
21
Floating face down in that dirty old river
22
That flows by the coal yards in Old Shanty Town
23
Patches oh what can I do
24
I swear I'll always love you
25
It may not be right but I'll join you tonight
26
Patches I'm coming to you
