| LET Housman sing of Severn shore | B |
| Of Thames let Arnold sing | C |
| But we will sing no river more | B |
| Save this where crowbars ring | C |
| Let others sing of Henley | D |
| Of fashion and renown | E |
| But we will sing the thirteen locks | A |
| That lead to Tonbridge town | E |
| Then sing the Kentish river | F |
| The Kentish fields and flowers | A |
| We waste no dreams on other streams | A |
| Who call the Medway ours | A |

| When on the level golden meads | A |
| The evening sunshine lies | A |
| The little voles among the reeds | A |
| Look out with wondering eyes | A |
| The patient anglers linger | F |
| The placid stream beside | G |
| Where still with towering tarry prow | H |
| The stately barges glide | G |
| Then sing the Kentish river | F |
| The Kentish fields and flowers | A |
| We waste no dreams on other streams | A |
| Who call the Medway ours | A |

| On Medway banks the May droops white | I |
| The wild rose blossoms fair | J |
| O'er meadow sweet and loosestrife bright | I |
| For water nymphs to wear | J |
| And mid the blowing rushes | A |
| Pan pipes a joyous song | K |
| And woodland things peep from the shade | L |
| As soft we glide along | K |
| Then sing the Kentish river | F |
| The Kentish fields and flowers | A |
| We waste no dreams on other streams | A |
| Who call the Medway ours | A |

| You see no freight on Medway boats | A |
| Of fashions fine and rare | J |
| But happy men in shabby coats | A |
| And girls with wind kissed hair | J |
| The world's a pain forgotten | M |
| And very far away | N |
| The stream that flows the boat that goes | A |
| These are our world to day | N |
| Then sing the Kentish river | F |
| The Kentish fields and flowers | A |
| We waste no dreams on other streams | A |
| Who call the Medway ours | A |
