Lyrics
I met my love near Woolwich Pier
Beneath the beacon standing
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 tongue
Sweet Thames, flow softly
From Shadwell Dock to Neuneham's 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 Richmond Park 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, he has gone from me
Winter's frost has touched my heart
And put a blight upon me
Creeping fog lies 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
