[Verse 1]
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 am I going to die?"
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
While 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
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 1600 had to die
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 5]
While Paul was sailing his men all around, God told him "not a man shall drown, if you trust in me and obey I will save you all today"
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 6]
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 1600 had to drown
[Chorus]
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
