The Sinking Of The Titanic

It was on Monday morning just about one o'clock
That the great Titanic begin to reel and rock
Then the people began to cry, saying, "Lord I'm a-going to die"
It was sad when that great ship went down

It was sad when that great ship went down
Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives
It was sad when that great ship went down

When they were building the Titanic, they said what they could do
They were going to build a ship that no water could not go through
But God with his mighty hand showed to the world it could not stand
It was sad when that great ship went down

It was sad when that great ship went down
Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives
It was sad when that great ship went down

When they left Eng-a-land, they were making for the shore
The rich they declared they would not ride with the poor
So they sent the poor below, they were the first that had to go
It was sad when that great ship went down

It was sad when that great ship went down
Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives
It was sad when that great ship went down

When the people on the ship were a long ways from home
With friends all around them, didn't know their time had come
For death came riding by, sixteen hundred had to die
It was sad when that great ship went down

It was sad when that great ship went down
Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives
It was sad when that great ship went down
