Patches - Manie Jackson[00:00:01]

Down by the river[00:00:08]
That flows by the coal yards[00:00:12]
Stands wooden houses[00:00:16]
With shutters torn down[00:00:19]
There lives a girl everybody calls Patches[00:00:23]
Patches my darling[00:00:30]
From Old Shanty town[00:00:34]
We plan to marry[00:00:40]
When June brought the summer[00:00:43]
I couldn't wait to make Patches my bride[00:00:47]
Now I don't see how[00:00:54]
That ever can happen[00:00:58]
My folks say[00:01:02]
No[00:01:04]
And my heart breaks inside[00:01:05]
Patches oh what can I do[00:01:10]
I swear I'll always love you[00:01:17]
But a girl from that place[00:01:24]
Would just bring me disgrace[00:01:27]
So my folks won't let me love you[00:01:32]
Each night I cry[00:01:39]
As I think of that shanty[00:01:43]
And pretty Patches there watching the door[00:01:47]
She dosn't know[00:01:54]
That I can't go to see her[00:01:57]
Patches must think[00:02:02]
That I love her no more[00:02:05]
I hear a neighbor telling my father[00:02:11]
He says a girl name of Patches was found[00:02:18]
Floating face down in[00:02:26]
That dirty old river[00:02:29]
That flows by the coal yards[00:02:33]
In Old Shanty Town[00:02:37]
Patches oh what can I do[00:02:41]
I swear I'll always love you[00:02:48]
It may not be right[00:02:55]
But I'll join you tonight[00:02:59]
Patches I'm coming to you[00:03:03]
