Sweet Thames Flow Softly - The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem w/ lyrics in description

I met my girl at Woolwich Pier, beneath the big cranes 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 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 I had was singing, Sweet Thames flow softly
Lighthouse Reach I gave her there, flow sweet river, flow
As a ribbon for her hair, Sweet Thames flow softly

From Putney Bridge to Nine Elms Reach, we cheek to cheek were dancing
Her 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

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 runs to the sea, flow sweet river, flow
Bearing ships and part of me, Sweet Thames flow softly
