London River, oh the London River
All the love I have I'll give her
London River, oh the London River
That's the river for me

First time that I set my eyes upon her
Tell no lie, upon my honour
Sights and sounds that made my heart a-shiver
Then I saw her on the London River-oh

London River, oh the London River
All the love I have I'll give her
London River, oh the London River
That's the river for me

Signed to my master in the 1930s
The hours were long and the work was dirty
Out in the indies where the Rum is brewed
Had me a drop and got me kidneys too

London River, oh the London River
All the love I have I'll give her
London River, oh the London River
That's the river for me

(Instr. Verse -- Violin)

Signed for a while on the old rasover
Some of them stewards they'll blow you over
Lipstick and Makeup, and all that muck,
Walk like a woman and they call you duck

London River, oh the London River
All the love I have I'll give her
London River, oh the London River
That's the river for me

First time that I set my eyes upon her
Tell no lie, upon my honour
Sights and sounds that made my heart a-shiver
Then I saw her on the London River-oh

London River, oh the London River
All the love I have I'll give her
London River, oh the London River
That's the river for me

  • I Dont Know Where I Stand
    "Funny day, looking for laughter and finding it there
    Sunny day, braiding white flowers and leaves in my hair
    Picked up a pencil and wrote 'I love you' in my finest hand
    Wanted to send it but I don't know where I stand..."
  • Percys Song
    "Bad news, bad news, come to me where I sleep"
    Turn, turn, turn again
    "Say, one of your friends is in trouble deep"
    Turn, turn, to the rain and the wind..."
  • Time Will Show the Wiser
    "My mind keeps on telling me that this is no good
    And my heart is aching, that tells me I should
    But only time will show the wiser
    I've fallen in love with a girl that's not mine..."
  • If (Stomp)
    "If I were rich enough
    To make you need me as much as I need you
    If I could pitch enough
    You'd realise what a little country bread can do..."
  • Decameron
    "She doesn't see the day to day
    No colours where the children play
    She doesn't see the things she's sown
    White crosses painted on the door..."
  • Jack ODiamonds
    "Jack O'Diamonds, on the move
    Jack O'Diamonds, one-eyed knave
    On the move, hits the street
    Bumps his head, on the ground..."
  • Chelsea Morning
    "Woke up big this Chelsea morning and the first thing that I heard
    Was a song outside my window
    And the traffic wrote the words
    It came ringing up like Christmas bells..."
  • Sun Shade
    "Dying's not easy today
    Trying but can't get away
    Feel just the almost touch of her hand and the trees in her hair
    ?Lies float? the sun, she saw only me in the sky..."
