Pete Seeger - The Titanic Disaster lyrics

It was on one Monday morning
Just about one o'clock
When that great ship Titanic began
To reel and rock
People began to scream and cry saying
Lord I'm a-goin to die
It was sad when that great ship went down

It was sad, it was sad
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 that ship left England it
Was making for the shore
The rich refused to associate with the poor
So they put the poor below they
Were the first to go
It was sad when that great ship wеnt down
It was sad, it was sad
It was sad when that great ship went down
Husbands and wivеs
Little children lost their lives
It was sad when that great ship went down

While they were building they said
What they would do we will build a ship that
The water can't go through
But God with power in hand showed the
World that it could not stand
It was sad when that great ship went down

It was sad, it was sad
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

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

It was sad, it was sad
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

While Paul was sailing, his men all around
God told him that not a man should drown
If you trust in me and obey
I will save you all today
It was sad when that great ship went down
It was sad, it was sad
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

You know it must have been awful
With those people on the sea
They say that they were singing
"Nearer My God to Thee"
While some were homeward bound sixteen
Hundred had to drown
It was sad when that great ship went down

It was sad, it was sad
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
