THE TITANIC
by Lesley Riddle
CHORUS:
Wasn't it sad when that great ship went down?
Wasn't it sad when that great ship went down?
Well, husbands and wives
And their children lost their lives.
Wasn't it sad when that great ship went down?
When they was buildin' the ship,
They said what they could do,
They would build a ship
That water couldn't break through.
God with the power in His hand
Showed the world it could not stand.
Wasn't it sad when that great ship went down?
Well, the ship had just left England
It was makin' for the shore,
Rich had declared they wouldn't
Ride with the poor.
They put the poor below,
They were the first ones had to go.
Wasn't it sad when that great ship went down?
You know, it was then awful,
With those people on the sea.
Said they were singin'
"Nearer, my God, to Thee."
They were homeward bound,
Fifteen hundred had to drown.
Wasn't it sad when that great ship went down?
