Oh they built the ship Titanic to sail the ocean blue

And they said it was a ship that the water would never go through

It was on its maiden trip when an iceberg hit the ship

It was sad when the great ship went down

Chorus:

It was sad

It was sad

It was sad when the great ship went down to the bottom of the sea

(Husbands and wives little children lost their lives)

(Captain and crew little children cried boo hoo)

(Uncles and aunts little children lost their pants)

It was sad when the great ship went down

It was off the English shore ‘bout a thousand miles or more

When the rich refused to associate with the poor

So they put them down below where they’d be the first to go

It was sad when the great ship went down

Chorus

So they put the lifeboats out upon the raging sea

And the band struck out with "Near my God to thee"

And the water rushed aside and the little children cried

It was sad when the great ship went down

Chorus

Now the moral of this story as you can plainly see

Is to wear a life preserver and never go out to see

For the Lord’s almighty hand said the ship would never land

It was sad when the great ship went down

Chorus
