It was on one Monday morning

About one o'clock

When that great Titanic

Began to reel and rock

People began to scream and cry

Saying, oh, Lord, we're going to die

It was sad when that great ship went down

It was sad when that great ship went down

It was sad when that great ship went down

Husbands and their wives, little children lost their lives

It was sad when that great ship went down

When building that great ship

They said what they would do

They said that they could build a ship

That water would not go through

God with power in his hand

Showed the world it could not stand

It was sad when that great ship went down

When that great ship left England

She was making for the shores

When the rich declared

They would not ride with the poor

So they put the poor below

And they were the first to go

It was sad when that great ship went down

It was sad when that great ship went down

It was sad when that great ship went down

Husbands and their wives, little children lost their lives

It was sad when that great ship went down
