《Patches》歌词

[00:00:00] Patches - Dickey Lee

[00:00:00] Written by：Kolber/Mann

[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

[00:00:19] Everybody calls Patches

[00:00:23] Patches my darling

[00:00:26] Of Old Shanty town

[00:00:32] We plan to marry

[00:00:35] When June brought the summer

[00:00:39] I couldn't wait to

[00:00:41] Make Patches my bride

[00:00:46] Now I don't see how

[00:00:48] That ever can happen

[00:00:52] My folks say No

[00:00:55] And my heart breaks inside

[00:00:59] Patches oh what can I do

[00:01:06] I swear I'll always love you

[00:01:12] But a girl from that place

[00:01:16] Would just bring me disgrace

[00:01:19] So my folks won't let me love you

[00:01:27] Each night I cry

[00:01:30] As I think of that shanty

[00:01:34] And pretty Patches

[00:01:37] There watching the door

[00:01:41] She dosn't know

[00:01:43] That I can't come to see her

[00:01:48] Patches must think

[00:01:50] That I love her no more

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

[00:02:03] He says a girl name

[00:02:06] Of Patches was found

[00:02:10] Floating face down in

[00:02:13] That dirty old river

[00:02:17] That flows by the coal yards

[00:02:21] In Old Shanty Town

[00:02:24] Patches oh what can I do

[00:02:31] I swear I'll always love you

[00:02:38] It may not be right

[00:02:41] But I'll join you tonight

[00:02:45] Patches I'm coming to you
