Sweet Thames Flow Softly Lyrics

I met my girl at Woolwich Pier beneath the big crane

standing

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 Blackwell 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 softlyCherish The Ladies - Sweet Thames Flow Softly - http://motolyrics.com/cherish-the-ladies/sweet-thames-flow-softly-lyrics.html

From Putney Bridge 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

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
