Oh they built that ship Titanic to sail the ocean blue
They said "Lord we have a ship, that the water won't break through"
But the Lords almighty hand, said the ship would never stand
It was sad when the great ship went down
Chorus:
Oh, it was sad (so sad), 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
Many miles from English shore and the ship would go no more
And the rich refused to associate with the poor
So they stuck them down below where they'd be the first to go
It was sad when the great ship went down
It was early in the morning about two o'clock
When the great ship Titanic, began to roll and rock
Oh the people knelt and cried, they said "Lord we're gonna die"
It was sad when the great ship went down
They lowered the lifeboats in the dark and stormy see
As the band struck up a tune Near to God oh Thee
Oh the heroes saved the weak as the ship began to leak
It was sad when the great ship went down
Mrs. Astor turned around just to see her husband drowned
As the Great Ship Titanic made a gurgling sound
Oh, she wrapped herself in mink just to watch the old man sink
It was sad when the great ship went down
The captain stood on deck with a teardrop in his eye
As he watched the last lifeboat be lowered over the side
Oh he thought he made a slip, so he went down with the ship
It was sad when the great ship went down
They built another ship and they called her Mary Lou
Her bow was painted black and the stern was painted blue
They christened her with rootbeer and she sank right off the pier
It was great when the sad ship went down
Oh the moral of this story, as you can plainly see
Is never leave the land and go out into the sea
But even if you do, take your PFD with you
It was sad when the great ship went down
