Patches (补丁) - Dickey Lee

Down by the river

That flows by the coal yards

Stands wooden houses

With shutters torn down

There lives a girl everybody calls Patches

Patches my darling

Of Old Shanty town

We plan 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 dosn'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 Shanty Town

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
