  • I met my love near 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 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 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 softly
    From Shadwell dock to Nine Elms Reach we cheek to cheek were dancing
    Her necklace made from 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
    From Rotherhithe to Putney Bridge my love I was declaring
    And she from Kew to Isleworth her love for me was swearing
    Love it set my heart a-burning, flow, Sweet River, flow
    Never saw the tide was turning, 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 flows to the sea, flow, Sweet River, flow
    Bearing ships and part of me, sweet Thames flow softly.

      Christy Moore sung this on the first Planxty album, sometimes known as the 'Black' album in '1972/73.
      You may find Sinead beautiful but she certainly isn't professional. She's out of tune, singing the wrong words and obviously under prepared.
      She's a liability.
