The Titanic
{loadposition TheTitanic}
Note: The Titanic (an old song, probably dating from as early as 1920).
Oh, they built the ship Titanic to sail the ocean blue
They thought they had a ship that the water wouldn’t go through but,
by God’s almighty hand the ship would never land
it was sad when the great ship went down.
CHORUS: It was sad (so sad) it was sad (too bad)
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.
Well the ship was filled with sin
And the sides about to burst
When the Captain shouted: ”WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST”
All the wept and children cried
As the waves swept over the side
It was sad when the great ship went down.
CHORUS:
It was sad (so sad) it was sad (too bad)
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.
It was off the coast of England
Not very far from shore
Where the rich refuse to associate with the poor.
So they put them down below
And they were the first to go.
It was sad when the great ship went down.
CHORUS It was sad (so sad) it was sad (too bad)
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.
Lady Esther turned around just to see her husband drown
as the ship Titanic made a gurgling sound.
So she wrapped herself in mink as the ship began to sink.
It was sad when the great ship went down.
CHORUS It was sad (so sad) it was sad (too bad)
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.
Well they built another ship called the US 92
And the bow was painted red and the stern was painted blue
Well they christened her with beer
And she sank right off the pier
It was sad when the great ship went down.
CHORUS It was sad (so sad) it was sad (too bad)
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.
The captain faced the bow with a teardrop in his eye
as he waved the last lifeboat goodbye.
He knew he’d made a slip so he went down with the ship.
It was sad when the great ship went down, down, down.
CHORUS It was sad (so sad) it was sad (too bad)
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.
So the moral of the story as you can plainly see
is to wear your life preserver whenever you’re at sea.
The Titanic never made it and never more shall be,
it was sad when the great ship went down, down, down.
CHORUS It was sad (so sad) it was sad (too bad)
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.
