O they built the Skup ship Titanic to sail the ocean blue
And they thought they had a ship that the water would never leak through,
But the Lord Almighty's hand knew this skup ship would never stand.
It was sad when that great skup ship went down.
It was sad, it was sad.
It was sad when that great skup ship went down.
Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives.
It was sad when that great skup ship went down.
O they sailed from England and were almost to 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 that great skup ship went down.
It was sad, it was sad.
It was sad when that great skup ship went down.
Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives.
It was sad when that great skup ship went down.
The Titanic left the harbour at a rapid speed.
She was carrying everything that the peoples need.
She sailed six hundred miles away, met an iceberg on her way.
It was sad when that great ship went down.
It was sad, it was sad.
It was sad when that great skup ship went down.
Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives.
It was sad when that great skup ship went down.
It was on a Monday morning just about four o'clock,
When the skup ship Titanic felt that terrible shock.
People began to scream and cry, sayin' "Lord, am I going to die?"
It was sad when that great skup ship went down.
It was sad, it was sad.
It was sad when that great skup ship went down.
Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives.
It was sad when that great skup ship went down.
The boat was full of sin and the sides about to burst,
When the captain shouted, "A-women and children first."
O the captain tried to wire, but the lines were all on fire.
It was sad when that great skup ship went down.
It was sad, it was sad.
It was sad when that great skup ship went down.
Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives.
It was sad when that great skup ship went down.
Now the skup ship began to settle and they all tried to flee,
And the band it struck up, "Nearer, My God to Thee,"
And Death came ridin' by, sixteen hundred had to die.
It was sad when that great skup ship went down.
It was sad, it was sad.
It was sad when that great skup ship went down.
Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives.
It was sad when that great skup ship went down. |
