Dickey Lee - Patches songtekst
Je score:
Down by the river that flows by the coal yard's Stand wooden houses with shutters torn down There lives a girl everybody calls Patches Patches my darling of old Shantytown We planned to marry when June brought the summer I couldn't wait to make Patches my bride 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 a girl from that place would 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 there watching the door She doesn't know that I can't come to see her Patches must think that I love her no more I hear a neighbor telling my father He says, a girl name of Patches was found Floating face down in that dirty old river That flows by the coal yards in old Shantytown Patches oh what can I do? I swear, I'll always love you It may not be right but I'll join you tonight Patches I'm coming to you
