The Sinking of the Titanic

歌詞

It was on one Monday morning, just about one o'clock When the great Titanic began to reel and rock Then the people began to cry, saying, "Lord, we're gonna die" It was sad when that great ship went down It was sad when that great ship went down It was sad when that great ship went down There were husbands and wives, little children lost their lives It was sad when that great ship went down When they built the great Titanic, they said what would they do They said they'd build a ship that water could not go through But God, with His mighty hand, showed the world that it could not stand It was sad when that great ship went down It was sad when that great ship went down It was sad when that great ship went down There were husbands and wives, little children lost their lives It was sad when that great ship went down When they heard the signal ring, they were headed for the shore The rich folks, they declared, they wouldn't ride with the poor So they sent the poor below, they was the first, then, had to go It was sad when that great ship went down It was sad when that great ship went down It was sad when that great ship went down There were husbands and wives, little children lost their lives It was sad when that great ship went down When the people in the ship were a long ways from home With the people all around the, didn't know their time had come But 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 It was sad when that great ship went down There were husbands and wives, little children lost their lives It was sad when that great ship went down
