On a Monday morning, just about nine o'clock
Great Titanic began to reel and rock
Children weepin' and cry
"Yes, I'm going to die!"

Wasn't it sad when that great ship went down?
Sad when that great ship went down
Sad when that great ship went down
Husbands and wives. Children lost their lives
Wasn't it sad when that great ship went down?

When that ship left England, making for the shore
The rich had declared that they would not ride with the poor
Put the poor below
Where first they had to go

People on that ship, long ways from home
Friends all around, didn't know the time had come
Death come riding by
Sixteen hundred had to die
Wasn't it sad when that great ship went down?

While they was building, said what they would do
Now they would build a ship that water can't come through
Wasn't it sad when that great ship when down?
