Fairport Convention - London River Lyrics
London River, oh the London RiverAll the love I have I'll give herLondon River, oh the London RiverThat's the river for meFirst time that I set my eyes upon herTell no lie, upon my honourSights and sounds that made my heart a-shiverThen I saw her on the London River-ohLondon River, oh the London RiverAll the love I have I'll give herLondon River, oh the London RiverThat's the river for meSigned to my master in the 1930sThe hours were long and the work was dirtyOut in the indies where the Rum is brewedHad me a drop and got me kidneys tooLondon River, oh the London RiverAll the love I have I'll give herLondon River, oh the London RiverThat's the river for me(Instr. Verse -- Violin)Signed for a while on the old rasoverSome of them stewards they'll blow you overLipstick and Makeup, and all that muck,Walk like a woman and they call you duckLondon River, oh the London RiverAll the love I have I'll give herLondon River, oh the London RiverThat's the river for meFirst time that I set my eyes upon herTell no lie, upon my honourSights and sounds that made my heart a-shiverThen I saw her on the London River-ohLondon River, oh the London RiverAll the love I have I'll give herLondon River, oh the London RiverThat's the river for me
