The Titanic

歌詞

It was on Monday morning, just about one o-clock That the great Titanic began to reel and rock Then the people began to cry, saying, "Lord, I'm a-going to die." It was sad when that great ship went down It was sad when that great ship went down Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives It was sad when that great ship went down When they were building the Titanic, they said what they could do They were going to build a ship that the water couldn't not go through But God with his mighty hand showed to the world it could not stand It was sad when that great ship went down It was sad when that great ship went down Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives It was sad when that great ship went down When they left England, they were making for the shore The rich, they declared they wouldn't not ride with the poor So they sent the poor below, they was the first that had to go It was sad when that great ship went down It was sad when that great ship went down Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives It was sad when that great ship went down Then the people on the ship were a long ways from home With friends all around them, didn't know their time had come Lord, Death came riding by, sixteen hundred had to die It was sad when that great ship went down It was sad when that great ship went down Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives It was sad when that great ship went down
