Song Lyrics

It was on one Monday morning just about one o'clock
That great Titanic began to reel and rock
Then the people began to cry
Saying, "Lord, am I going to die?"
It was sad when that great ship went down

It was sad when that great ship went down
Husbands and wives and little children lost their lives
It was sad when that great ship went down

While they were building the Titanic they said what they could do
They were going to build a ship that water could not go through
But God with his hands showed to the world it could not stand
It was sad when that great ship went down

It was sad when that great ship went down
Husbands and wives and little children lost their lives
It was sad when that great ship went down

When they left England they were making for the shore
The rich they declared that they would not ride with the poor
So they sent the poor below
They were the first to go
It was sad when that great ship went down

It was sad when that great ship went down
Husbands and wives and little children lost their lives
It was sad when that great ship went down

Then the people on that ship were a long ways from home
With friends all around them didn't know their time had come
But death came riding by
Sixteen hundred had to die
It was sad when that great ship went down

It was sad when that great ship went down
Husbands and wives and little children lost their lives
It was sad when that great ship went down

Ernest V. Stoneman
