Titanic

Oh, they built the ship Titanic, to sail the ocean blue 
And they thought they had a ship that the water wouldn't go through 
But the good Lord raised His hand, said the ship would never land 
It was sad when the great ship went down 

Chorus: 

     Oh, 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. 

Oh, they were not far from shore, when they heard a mighty roar 
And the rich refused to associate with the poor 
So they put them down below, where they'd be the first to go 
It was sad when the great ship went down. 

It was the middle of the night when they hit the block of ice 
And they all decided that it wasn't very nice 
To be stuck on a boat that wouldn't even float 
It was sad when the great ship went down 

Mrs. Brown turned around just to see her husband drown 
As the great Titanic made a gurgling sound 
So she wraped herself in mink, just to see the great ship sink 
It was sad when the great ship went down 

They put the lifeboats out, on the wild and stormy sea, 
And the band struck up with Nearer My God to Thee 
Little children wept and cried, as the waves rolled o'er the side 
It was sad when the great ship went down 

The Captain stood on deck, with a teardrop in his eye 
As the last boat left, he waved them all goodbye 
He went down with the ship to the bottom of the sea 
It was sad when the great ship went down 

Oh, the moral of this story, is very plain to see 
Always wear a life preserver, when you go off to sea 
For the good Lord raised his hand, said the ship would never land 
It was sad when the great ship went down
