It was on one Monday morning Just about one o'clock When that great Titanic Began to reel and rock People began to scream and cry Saying, "Lord, am I going 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 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 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 "Near 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
