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