Patches Song Lyrics and Chords by Dickey Lee

Patches

Recorded by Dickey Lee

Written by Barry Mann and Larry Kolber

3/4 time

C

Down by the river that

F

flows by the

C

coal

yards

Stand wooden houses with

F

shutters torn

G7

down

C

There lives a girl

F

everybody calls

C

Patches

Patches my darling

G7

of old Shanty

C

town

We planned to marry when

F

June brought the

C

summer

I couldn't wait to make

F

Patches my

G7

bride

C

Now I don't see how that

F

ever can

C

happen

My folks say no and my

G7

heart breaks

C

inside

Patches oh

G7

what can I do

F

I swear I'll

C

always love you

But a

F

girl from that place would just

C

bring me disgrace

So my folks won't

G7

let me love

C

you

Each night I cry as I

F

think of that

C

shanty

And pretty Patches there

F

watching the

G7

door

C

She doesn't know that I

F

can't come to

C

see

her

Patches must think that

G7

I love her no

C

more

I hear a neighbor

F

telling my

C

father

He says a girl name of

F

Patches was

G7

found

C

Floating face down in that

F

dirty old

C

river

That flows by the coal yards

G7

in old Shanty

C

town

Patches oh

G7

what can I do

F

I swear I'll

C

always love you

It

F

may not be right but I'll

C

join you tonight

Patches

G7

I'm coming to

C

you
