Down by the river _ [F]
that flows by [C] the courtyard _
Stand wooden houses [F] with shutters _ [G] dawned down _ _
[C] There [G] lives a girl _ [F]
everybody _ [C] calls _ Patches _
_ Patches, my darling, [G] of old _ _ [C] _ Shantytown _ _
_ _ _ We planned to marry _ [F] when June brought [C]
the summer
_ _ I _ couldn't wait [F] to make _ Patches [G] my bride
_ _ [C] Now I [G] don't see _ [F] how that ever [C] can happen
_ Say _ _ _ no [G] and my heart breaks [C] _
inside _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Patches, [F] though I _ can't do _ [G] _
I _ _ swear I'll [C] _ always love you
[F] But a girl from that place [C] only bring me [Am] _ disgrace
[C] So my folks won't let me love you _ _ _ _ _ _
Each night I cry [F] as I think of [C] that shanty _ _ _ _ pretty Patches
_ [F]
They're watching [G] the door
_ _ [C]
She _ _ [G] doesn't know [F] that I can't come [C] to see her _
_ Patches must think [G] that I love her [C] no more _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Patches, [F] though I _ can't do _ _ [G] I _ _ swear _ [C] I'll _ always love you
[F] But a girl from that place _ [C] only bring me [Am]
disgrace
_ [C] So my folks [G] won't let me [C] love you _ _
_ _ _ I hear a neighbor _ [Fm] _ telling [C] a father
_ He says a girl [Fm] named _ Patches [G] was found
_ _ _ [C] _ Floating [G]
face down [F] in that dirty [C] old river
_ That flows by the courtyard [Em] in old _ _ [C] _
Shantytown _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] Patches, though I can't do _ _ [G] _
I _ swear _ [C] I'll _ always love you
_ [F] _
May not be right [C] but I'll join [G] you _ [A] tonight _ _ [C] _
_ Patches [G] I'm coming _ [C] to you _ _ _ _ _ _
