Song 'Lord Gently'

The young piano lady on the ship singing a song for Dr. Watson (because Holmes requested it, after having relieved her of her weighty secret), which I remember as "Lord Gently".
I remember the song's tune, because I know it as an alternative version of the christmas classic "Away in a manger", so not the melody you all know, but a second or third voice to it.
Alas, when I tried to google it, I could not find the lyrics to the old song "Lord Gently". There was a parody on George Harrison with the same title, but I wasn't looking for that one.

Can anyone help me with finding the right lyrics of "Lord Gently"?

The song was "Flow Gently, Sweet Afton" - not "Lord Gently".

Bless you for answering me correctly!

After your reply, I googled the title and found this:

So thanks again.
