Jody Wayne - Patches lyrics

Artist: Jody Wayne

album: The Heart and Soul Of


Down by the river
That flows by the coal yards
Stand wooden houses
With shutters torn down
There lives a girl
Everybody calls patches
Patches my darling
From old shanty town
We plan to marry
When june brought the summer
I couldn't wait
To make patches my bride
But now i don't see how that ever can happen
My folks say no
And my heart breaks inside
Patches oh what can i do
I swear i'll always love you
But girls from that place
Will just bring me disgrace
So my folks won't let me love you
Each night i cry as i think of that shanty
And pretty patches will watching the door
She doesn't know that i can't go to see her
I just must think that i love her no more
I hear a neighbor telling my father
He says a girl named patches was found
Floating face down in that dirty old river
That flows by the coal yards in old shanty town
Patches oh what can i do
I swear i'll always love you
It may not be bright
But i'll join you tonight
Patches i'm coming to you
