F                     Bb     F
London River, oh, the London River
Dm      C      Bb         F
All the love I have, I'll give her

  F       C     Bb     F
I tell no lie, upon my honour
Bb                             Gm
Sights and sounds that made my heart a-shiver
                      Bb     C
Then I saw her on the London River

[Verse]
F                          Dm
Signed to my master in the nineteen thirties
    F          C            Bb       F
The hours were long and the work was dirty
Bb                          Gm
Out in the Indies where the rum is brewed
                         Bb      C
Had me a drop and got me kidneys stewed

[Chorus]
F                     Bb     F
London River, oh, the London River
Dm      C      Bb         F
All the love I have, I'll give her
Bb                    Dm
London River, oh, the London River

That's the river for me

Signed for a while on the old Rasover
F            C                 Bb       F
Some of them stewards, they'll blow you over
Bb                       Gm
Lipstick and makeup, and all that muck
                           Bb       C
Walk like a woman and they call you Duck

[Chorus]
