Goodbye Patricia

Goodbye Patricia, goodbye to you dear The Summer is over and Winter is here The days they are short and the nights they are long The rain lashes down and the wind is blowing strong. Oh how I wish that she were here tonight Because without her life doesn't seem right And though another man has taken my place I never will forget her beautiful face. When a woman loves you it's easy to tell And I know Patricia she loved me quite well But I lead a reckless spendthrift kind of life And that's why Patricia would not be my wife. I've left my money in the dog track and bar And to pay up my debts had to sell off my car Drinking and gambling is a loser's game And for losing her I have myself to blame. For Patricia tomorrow wedding bells will chime And her friends and relations will have a great time Tomorrow Patricia will start a new life When she agrees to become her new lover's wife. Here's to you Patricia, here's wishing you cheer May wedded life bring you no regret or tear, May you be as happy as happy can be For happy you could not be if married to me.
