It was sad when that great ship went down
When building that great ship
Showed the world it could not stand
When that great Titanic
It was sad when that great ship went down
When the rich declared
And they were the first to go
They said that they could build a ship
Husbands and their wives, little children lost their lives
It was sad when that great ship went down
Husbands and their wives, little children lost their lives
It was sad when that great ship went down
It was sad when that great ship went down
Saying, oh, Lord, we're going to die
When that great ship left England
So they put the poor below
She was making for the shores
God with power in his hand
It was sad when that great ship went down
That water would not go through
It was sad when that great ship went down
People began to scream and cry
It was sad when that great ship went down
They would not ride with the poor
Began to reel and rock
They said what they would do
