On they built the ship Titanic to sail the ocean blue.
And they thought they had a ship that the water wouldn`t go through, But
the Lord`s almighty hand knew this ship would never stand. It was sad
when that great ship went down.
Chorus:
Oh, it was sad, oh, it was sad, Oh, 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, they sailed from England,
and where 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 sin, and the sides about to burst,
When the captain shouted, "A-women and children first",
Oh, the captain tried to wire, but the lines were all on fire,
It was sad when that great ship went down.
Oh, they swung the lifeboats out o`er the deep and raging sea,
When the band struck up with, "A-neaer My God To Thee",
Little children wept and cried, as the waves swept o`er the side,
It was sad when that great ship went down.
