Oh, they built the ship Titanic, to sail the ocean blue,
And they thought they had a ship that the water would never leak through, But the Lord’s almighty hand knew the ship would never stand.
It was sad when the great ship went down.
[Chorus]
Oh, it was sad, Lord, sad; oh it was sad, Lord, sad;
It was sad when the great ship went down, to the bottom of the – Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives,
It was sad when that great ship went down.
——
Oh, they sailed from England, and were almost to the shore, When the rich refused to associate with the poor,
So they put them down below, where they were the first to go.
[Chorus]
The boat was full of sin, and the sides about to burst, When the captain shouted, “A-women and children first!” Oh, the captain tried to wire, but the lines were all on fire.
[Chorus]
Oh, they swung the lifeboats out o’er the deep and raging sea, When the band struck up with, “A-nearer My God to Thee.” Little children wept and cried, as the waves swept o’er the side.
