• Sweet Thames Flow Softly (Ewan MacColl)

And all the love I felt for her it passed all understanding
Took her sailing on the river, flow, Sweet River, flow
London town was mine to give her, sweet Thames flow softly
Made the Thames into a crown, flow, Sweet River, flow
Made a brooch of silver town, sweet Thames flow softly

At London yard I held her hand at Blackwall Point I faced her
At the Isle of Dogs I kissed her mouth and tenderly embraced her
Heard the bells of Greenwich ringing, flow, Sweet River, flow
All the time my heart was singing, sweet Thames flow softly
Limehouse Reach I gave her there, flow, Sweet River, flow
As a ribbon for her hair, sweet Thames flow softly

From Shadwell dock to Nine Elms Reach we cheek to cheek were dancing
Her necklace made from London Bridge her beauty was enhancing
Kissed her once again at Wapping, flow, Sweet River, flow
After that there was no stopping, sweet Thames flow softly
Gave her Hampton Court to twist, flow, Sweet River, flow
Into a bracelet for her wrist, sweet Thames flow softly

From Rotherhithe to Putney Bridge my love I was declaring
And she from Kew to Isleworth her love for me was swearing
Love it set my heart a-burning, flow, Sweet River, flow
Never saw the tide was turning, sweet Thames flow softly
Gave her Hampton Court to twist, flow, sweet river flow
Into a bracelet for her wrist, sweet Thames flow softly

But now alas the tide has changed my love she has gone from me
And winter’s frost has touched my heart and put a blight upon me
Creeping fog is on the river, flow, Sweet River, flow
Sun and moon and stars gone with her, sweet Thames flow softly
Swift the Thames flows to the sea, flow, Sweet River, flow
Bearing ships and part of me, sweet Thames flow softly.
