Titanic as sung by the boys of Camp Read

Submitted by S. Sudak

 

Oh they built the ship Titanic, and when they had it done

well they thought they had a ship that the waters could not run

But the Lord's almighty hand said the ship would never stand

It was sad when the great ship went down.

 

Chorus:

It was sad (so sad!) It was sad (so sad!)

It was sad when the great ship went down

to the bottom of the Husbands and wives little children lost their lives

It was sad when the gret ship went down

 

Well they were not far from England, they were not far from shore

When the rich refused to associate with the poor

So they put them down below where they were the first to go

It was sad when the great ship went down

 

Chorus

 

Well they lowered down the lifeboats into the raging sea

and the band struck up with "Nearer My God to Thee"

Little children wept and cried as the waves crashed o'er the side

It was sad when the great ship went down

 

Chorus

 

Well they built another ship and they called it Mary Lou

and the bow was painted pink and the stern was painted blue

and they christened it with beer and it sank right off the pier

It was GREAT when the SAD ship went down

 

It was great! (so great!) It was great! (so great!)

It was great when the sad ship went down

To the bottom of the

Uncles and Aunts little children lost their pants

It was great when the sad ship went down.
