Oh, they built the ship Titanic to sail the ocean blue
And the people said that the water would never get through
Oh, the Lord’s almighty hand said the ship would never land

(chorus)
It was sad when the great ship went down bom-b-bom
It was sad, so sad, it was sad, too bad
It was sad when the great ship went down to the bottom of the
Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives
It was sad when the great ship went down bom-b-bom

It was off the English shore ‘bout a hundred miles or more
When the rich refused to associate with the poor
So they put the poor below, so they’d be the first to go

(chorus)

Oh, the little children cried as the water rushed inside
And the men on deck prayed the Lord to pass them by
But the hero saved the weak as the boat began to leak

(chorus)

Oh, the moral of this story, as you can plainly see
Is to wear a life preserver when you go out to sea
The Titanic never made it across the ocean blue
