The Great Titanic

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well the stars shown bright on that cold one night While the party's going on She was the ship, that unsinkable ship And nothing could go wrong They was singing and dancing on every deck And [?] were sleeping within And came that sound, that awful sound As the big ship tore in two [Chorus] The great Titanic went down, went down The great Titanic went down She was the biggest ship that had ever been built But the great Titanic went down [Verse 2] She had pulled away from Southampton She was plowin' for New York Bay Well we set a new record on April 4th She had a fast seam all the way And the first mate clapped to the captain on the bridge "There's icebergs up ahead" But the captain just smiled as he turned away And said "Full speed ahead" The captain said now "Help will come" But the hours slowly passed That hole in the bottom where the sea poured in Told the captain she'd never last And panic gripped that mighty ship As the lifeboats were lowered And some men cried and some men prayed And some jumped overboard [Chorus] The great Titanic went down, went down The great Titanic went down She was the biggest ship that had ever been built But the great Titanic went down [Verse 3] And the ones who clung to that sinking ship As she turned over on the side And she stood straight up in that churning sea And began her downward slide Well the women and the children in the rafters Had pulled away in the cold blue sea And the last words heard from that sinking ship were "We're a nearer my God to thee" [Chorus] And the great Titanic went down, went down The great Titanic went down She was the biggest ship that had ever been built But the great Titanic went down [Outro] Yes the great Titanic went down, went down The great Titanic went down She was the biggest ship that had ever been built
