《Patches》歌词

[00:00:00] Patches - Dickey Lee

[00:00:02] Down by the river

[00:00:05] That flows by the coal yards

[00:00:09] Stands wooden houses

[00:00:12] With shutters torn down

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

[00:00:23] Patches my darling

[00:00:27] Of Old Shanty town

[00:00:33] We plan to marry

[00:00:36] 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

[00:00:49] That ever can happen

[00:00:53] My folks say No

[00:00:56] 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

[00:01:17] Would just bring me disgrace

[00:01:21] So my folks won't let me love you

[00:01:28] Each night I cry

[00:01:31] As I think of that shanty

[00:01:35] And pretty Patches there watching the door

[00:01:42] She dosn't know

[00:01:45] That I can't come to see her

[00:01:49] Patches must think

[00:01:52] That I love her no more

[00:01:58] I hear a neighbor telling my father

[00:02:05] He says a girl name of

[00:02:08] Patches was found

[00:02:12] Floating face down in

[00:02:15] That dirty old river

[00:02:19] That flows by the coal yards

[00:02:22] In Old Shanty Town

[00:02:26] Patches oh what can I do

[00:02:33] I swear I'll always love you

[00:02:39] It may not be right

[00:02:43] But I'll join you tonight

[00:02:47] Patches I'm coming to you
