Oh, they built the ship Titanic to sail the ocean blue,
And they thought they had a ship that the water would never leak through,
But the Lord's almighty hand knew that ship would never stand.
It was sad when the great ship went down.
Chorus
Oh, it was sad, it was sad; it was sad, it was sad;
It was sad when the great ship went down, to the bottom of the
Husbands and wives, little-bitty children lost their lives,
It was sad when that great ship went down.
Oh, they sailed away from England, and were almost to the shore,
When the rich refused to associate with the poor,
So they put them down below, where they were the first to go.
It was sad when the great ship went down.
The boat was full of din, and the sides about to burst,
When the captain shouted "Women and children first!"
Then the captain tried to wire, but the wireless was on fire.
It was sad when the great ship went down.
So they swung the lifeboats out o're the deep and raging sea
The band struck up with 'Nearer My God to Thee',
Little children wept and cried, as the waves swept, o're the side,
It was sad when the great ship went down.
Oh the moral to be gained from this tale of woe and pain,
Is that if you're rich you should not be so vain.
For in the good Lord's eyes, you're the same as other guys.
It was sad when the great ship went down.
Oh they built another ship they called, "Titanic II."
They were sure this time that the water would never leak thorough.
So they launched it with a cheer, and it sank right off the pier.
It was sad when the great ship went down.
