Lyrics

Old Father Thames Keeps Rolling Along

There's some folks who always worry

And some folks who never care

But in this world of rush

And hurry it matters neither here nor there

Be steady and realistic

Don't hanker for gold or gems

Be carefree and otimistic like Old Father Thames

High in the hills down in the dales

Happy and fancy free

Old Father Thames keeps rolling along

Down to the mighty sea

What does he know what does he care

Nothing for you or me

Old Father Thames keeps rolling along

Down to the mighty sea

He never seems to worry

Doesn't care for Fortunes fame

He never seems to hurry

But he gets there just the same

Kingdoms may come Kingdoms may go

Whatever the end may be

Old Father Thames keeps rolling along

Down to the mighty sea
