Lyrics

[00:11.41] There's some folks who always worry
[00:14.85] And some folks who never care
[00:18.53] But in this world of rush
[00:22.32] And hurry it matters neither here nor there
[00:25.82] Be steady and realistic
[00:29.61] Don't hanker for gold or gems
[00:33.35] Be carefree and otimistic like Old Father Thames
[00:41.24] High in the hills down in the dales
[00:45.03] Happy and fancy free
[00:48.72] Old Father Thames keeps rolling along
[00:52.30] Down to the mighty sea
[00:56.07] What does he know what does he care
[00:59.95] Nothing for you or me
[01:03.60] Old Father Thames keeps rolling along
[01:07.14] Down to the mighty sea
[01:10.42] He never seems to worry
[01:14.11] Doesn't care for Fortunes fame
[01:17.85] He never seems to hurry
[01:21.59] But he gets there just the same
[01:25.63] Kingdoms may come Kingdoms may go
[01:29.38] Whatever the end may be
[01:32.91] Old Father Thames keeps rolling along
[01:36.66] Down to the mighty sea
[01:43.98] My best way a heaven best way
[01:47.47] Than right to be own with kind
[01:50.93] It doesn't matter what the rest of it
[01:54.92] You're about to leave them far behind
[01:58.51] It's your turn to do you duties
[02:02.20] If they call to own your fame
[02:05.69] Far regard than human duties
[02:09.43] Like Old Father Thames
[02:13.69] High in the hills down in the dales
[02:17.48] Happy and fancy free
[02:21.18] Old Father Thames keeps rolling along
[02:24.87] Down to the mighty sea
[02:28.66] What does he know what does he care
[02:32.30] Nothing for you or me
[02:35.94] Old Father Thames keeps rolling along
[02:39.62] Down to the mighty sea
[02:42.97] He never seems to worry
[02:46.62] Doesn't care for Fortunes fame
[02:50.41] He never seems to hurry
[02:53.84] But he gets there just the same
[02:57.99] Kingdoms may come
[03:00.25] Kingdoms may go
[03:02.07] Whatever the end may be
[03:05.71] Old Father Thames keeps rolling along
[03:09.40] Down to the mighty sea
