When That Great Ship Went Down

When That Great Ship Went Down - Harry Smith

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 would not ride with the poor

Put the poor below

Where first they had to go

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 would not ride with the poor

Put the poor below

Where first he had to go

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

People on that ship long ways from home

The friends all around didn't know the time had come

Death come riding by

Sixteen hundred had to die

Wasn't it sad when

Sad when that great ship

Sad when that great ship went down

Husbands and wives children lost their lives

Wasn't it sad when that great

People on that ship long ways from home

The friends tell me didn't know the time had come

Death come riding by

Sixteen hundred had to die

Wasn't it sad when that

Sad when that great

Sad when that great

Husbands and wives children lost their lives

Wasn't it sad when that great

While they was building said what they would do

Now they would build a ship that water can't come through

Unintelligible

Wasn't it sad when that great ship when down
