From Shadwell dock to Nine Elms Reach
We cheek to cheek were dancing
Her necklace made of London Bridge
Her beauty was enchanting
Kissed her once again at Wopping
Flow sweet river flow
After that there was no stopping
Sweet Thames flows softly
Gave at Richmond Park a twist
Flow sweet river flow
Into a bracelet for her wrist
Sweet Thames flows softly
But now alas the tide has changed
My love she has gone from me
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 flows softly
Swift the Thames flows to the sea
Flow sweet river flow
Bearing ships and part of me
Sweet Thames flow softly
