Old Thames Side Lyrics
As I was walking down by old Thames side
Oh my foot and my heart seem to falter
And there you were standing by a Custom House landing
Like Venus risen out of the water
And they say it's because, well, I'm a fool in love
That I swear there's no beauty before you
And those that deny or think that I lie
Well oh, those are the ones who never saw you
Oh, there never was anyone so perfect as you
As you stood there and smiled to greet me
And I searched for a phrase to capture your ways
Well, that's a task that'll always defeat me
And they say it's because, oh, I'm a fool in love
That I swear there's no beauty before you
But those that deny or think that I lie
Well those are the ones who never saw you
And they say it's because I'm a fool in love
That I swear there's no beauty before you
And those that deny or think that I lie
Well oh, those are the ones who never saw you
Oh my foot and my heart seem to falter
And there you were standing by a Custom House landing
Like Venus risen out of the water
That I swear there's no beauty before you
And those that deny or think that I lie
Well oh, those are the ones who never saw you
As you stood there and smiled to greet me
And I searched for a phrase to capture your ways
Well, that's a task that'll always defeat me
That I swear there's no beauty before you
But those that deny or think that I lie
Well those are the ones who never saw you
That I swear there's no beauty before you
And those that deny or think that I lie
Well oh, those are the ones who never saw you
