Titanic (Rise No More) 
Titanic (Rise No More) 
Sailing out on the Titanic Some ninety miles from shore, When suddenly it struck an iceberg, And sank to rise no more. 
CHORUS: Lost on the great Titanic Sinking to rise no more; The number, sixteen hundred That failed to reach the shore. 
There were paupers, merchants, and rich men Sailing out on this boat; And when it sank in the ocean You could see their bodies float. 
The men stood back like heroes. Sending their wives to the shore; They kissed, shook hands, and parted, To meet on earth no more. 
The band was playing sadly, "Nearer, My God, To Thee;" lt seemed to play its utmost As it sank in the deep blue sea. 
Varant of Lost on the Lady Elgin; From Southern Folk Ballads, McNeill. Collected from Lula Davis, Ak, 1951.
