It was on one Monday morning just about one o'clock When the great Titanic began to reel and rock. People began to scream and cry, Saying, "Oh, Lord, I'm going to die!" It was sad when that great ship went down. Don't you know it was sad when that great ship went down, 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. People aboard the ship was a long way from home, With friends standing around didn't know their time had come; But death came riding by, sixteen hundred had to die, It was sad when that great ship went down. When Paul he was a sailor, his men all standing around, God sitting in his Kingdom, not a man should be drowned; Sixteen hundred and threescore All got landed on that shore, It was sad when that great ship went down. Don't you know it was sad when that great ship went down, 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. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AFTER THE TITANIC by DEREK MAHON THE CONVERGENCE OF THE TWAIN; LINES ON LOSS OF THE TITANIC by THOMAS HARDY DARK PROPHECY: I SING OF SHINE by ETHERIDGE KNIGHT THE TITANIC by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE TITANIC by SAMUEL VALENTINE COLE RAGTIME! by ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE THE TITANIC by HUDDIE LEDBETTER TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
