The Wreck Of The Titanic Lyrics by Vernon Dalhart

Titanic Songs

0

O they built the ship Titanic to sail the ocean blue
And they thought they had a ship
That the water would never go through
But the Lord's almighty hand
It was sad when that great ship went down
It was sad (it was sad) It was sad (mighty sad)
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
Oh she was far from England
And approaching to the shore
When the rich refused to associate with the poor
So they put them down below
Where they were first to go
As the humble closed their eyes
In the darkness of the hold
The rich upstairs were playing cards for gold
And they laughed when a sailor said
'There's an iceberg close ahead'
When the Captain heard the news
From a sailor up the mast
He said, 'Steady boys, we'd better not go too fast'
But the company in their greed
Said, 'We must increase the speed'
Oh they put the lifeboats out
O'er the raging stormy sea
And the band on board played 'Nearer My God to Thee'
Little children wept and cried
As the waves swept o'er the side
