It was sad when that great ship went down
It was sad when that great ship went down
The cold ocean floor will now be their home
It was sad when that great ship went down
It was on one Monday morning, about one o'clock
When the great Titanic began to reel and rock
Well people began to cry, oh, Lord, I don't wanna 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 wives, little children lost their lives
It was sad when that great ship went down
When the ship left England heading for far a shore
The rich declared 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
It was sad when that great ship went down
The cold ocean floor will now be their home
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 wives, little children lost their lives
It was sad when that great ship went down
