The Ship Titanic


Oh 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
Said that ship would never land,
It was sad when that great ship went down

Chorus:
	It was sad. It was sad.
	It was sad when the great ship went down.
	(to the bottom of the...)
	Husbands and wives,
	Little children lost their lives
	It was sad when the great ship went down.

They were off for England
And not very far from shore
When the rich refused
To associate with the poor
So they sent them down below
Where they'd be the first to go
It was sad when that great ship went down

The boat was about to sink,
And the sides about to burst,
When the captain shouted, "All
Women and children first!"
Oh, the captain tried to wire,
But the wires was on fire,
It was sad when the great ship went down.

Oh, they swung the lifeboats out
O'er the deep and ragin' sea,
When the band struck up with,
"Nearer My God to Thee."
Little children wept and cried,
As the waves swept o'er the side,
It was sad when the great ship went down.
