Correcting some of Q's line breaks:

Lyr. Add: PATCHES
Barry Mann & Larry Kobler; sung by Lee Dickie.

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, of old Shanty Town.

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 can ever 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 heard a neighbor telling my father
He said 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 right but I'll join you tonight
Patches, I'm coming to you.
