[00:00:08] Down by the river

[00:00:12] That flows by the coal yards

[00:00:16] Stands wooden houses

[00:00:19] With shutters torn down

[00:00:23] There lives a girl everybody calls Patches

[00:00:30] Patches my darling

[00:00:34] From Old Shanty town

[00:00:40] We plan to marry

[00:00:43] When June brought the summer

[00:00:47] I couldn't wait to make Patches my bride

[00:00:54] Now I don't see how

[00:00:58] That ever can happen

[00:01:02] My folks say

[00:01:04] No

[00:01:05] And my heart breaks inside

[00:01:10] Patches oh what can I do

[00:01:17] I swear I'll always love you

[00:01:24] But a girl from that place

[00:01:27] Would just bring me disgrace

[00:01:32] So my folks won't let me love you

[00:01:39] Each night I cry

[00:01:43] As I think of that shanty

[00:01:47] And pretty Patches there watching the door

[00:01:54] She dosn't know

[00:01:57] That I can't go to see her

[00:02:02] Patches must think

[00:02:05] That I love her no more

[00:02:11] I hear a neighbor telling my father

[00:02:18] He says a girl name of Patches was found

[00:02:26] Floating face down in

[00:02:29] That dirty old river

[00:02:33] That flows by the coal yards

[00:02:37] In Old Shanty Town

[00:02:41] Patches oh what can I do

[00:02:48] I swear I'll always love you

[00:02:55] It may not be right

[00:02:59] But I'll join you tonight

[00:03:03] Patches I'm coming to you
