Titanic

Oh, they built the ship Titanic, to sail the ocean blue,
And they built they’d built a ship the water would never go through.
But the great Lord raised his hand, said the ship would never land,
It was sad when the great ship went down.

*Chorus: It was sad (so sad)
It was sad when the great ship went down
To the bottom of the sea....
(husbands and wives, little children lost their lives)
It was sad when the great ship went down.

They were sailing away from England, they were close to the shore
When the rich refused to associate with the poor.
So they sent them down below, where they'd be the first to go.
It was sad when the great ship went down.
*
The boat was about to sink, the sides about to burst,
When the captain shouted women and children first
Oh, the captain tried to wire, but the wire was on fire.
It was sad when the great ship went down
*
They lowered all the lifeboats to the dark and stormy sea,
As the band was playing "Nearer My God to thee"
Little children wept and cried, as the waves swept over the side
It was sad when the great ship went down
*
Oh the moral of this story, as you can plainly see,
Is to wear a life preserver when you go out to sea.
The Titanic once was but never more shall be,
It was sad when the great ship went down.
*
