[Verse 1]
The rich folks decided to take a trip
On the finest ship that was ever built
The captain persuaded the people to think
That the Titanic too safe to sink

[Chorus]
Out on the ocean
The great wide ocean
The Titanic, out on the ocean
Sinking down

[Verse 2]
The ship left the harbor at a rapid speed
Carrying everything the people need
She sailed six-hundred miles away
Met an iceberg in her way

[Chorus]
Out on the ocean
The great wide ocean
The Titanic, out on the ocean
Sinking down

[Verse 3]
The ship left the harbor, was running fast
Was her first trip and her last
Was out on that ocean wide
An iceberg ripped her in the side

[Chorus]
Out on the ocean
The great wide ocean
The Titanic, out on the ocean
Sinking down

[Verse 4]
Up comes Bill from the bottom floor
Said the water was running in the boiler door
Go back Bill, and shut your mouth
We got forty-eight pumps to keep the water out
[Chorus]
Out on the ocean
The great wide ocean
The Titanic, out on the ocean
Sinking down

[Verse 5]
Just about then the the captain looked around
He saw the Titanic was sinking down
He gave orders to the men around:
"Get your life-boats and let them down!"

[Chorus]
Out on the ocean
The great wide ocean
The Titanic, out on the ocean
Sinking down

[Verse 6]
The men standing around like heroes brave
Nothing but the women and the children to save
The women and the children all wiping their eyes
Kissing their husbands and friends goodbye

[Chorus]
Out on the ocean
The great wide ocean
The Titanic, out on the ocean
Sinking down
[Verse 7]
On the fifteenth day of May nineteen-twelve
The ship wrecked by an iceberg in the ocean dwelled
The people were thinking of Jesus of Nazaree
While the band played "Nearer My God to Thee"

[Chorus]
Out on the ocean
The great wide ocean
The Titanic, out on the ocean
Sinking down
Sinking down
