Sweet Thames Flow Softly
(Ewan MacColl)

I met my girl at Woolwich Pier
Beneath the big crane standing
And oh, 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 Silvertown
	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

From Shadwell Dock to Nine Elms Reach
We cheek to cheek were dancing
A necklace made of 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

Richmond Park it was her ring
	Flow, sweet river, flow
I'd have given her anything
	Sweet Thames, flow softly

From Rotherhithe to Putney Bridge 
My love I was declaring
And she, from Kew to Isleworth
Her love with me was sharing

Gave her Hampton Court to twist
	Flow, sweet river, flow
As a bracelet for her wrist
	Sweet Thames, flow softly
