Lyrics

It was on the tenth of April, on a sunny afternoon
The Titanic left South Hamilton, each one was happy as bride and groom
No one thought of danger or what their fate may be
Until a gruesome iceberg caused fifteen hundred to perish in the sea
It was early Monday morning, just about the break of day
Captain Smith called for help from
The Carpathia, and it was many miles away
Everyone was calm and solemn, asked each other what the trouble may be
Not thinking that death was lurking, way out upon that Northern Sea
The Carpathia received the wireless
"S.O.S. In distress. Come at once,
We are sinking. Make no delay and do your best
Get your lifeboats all in readiness, 'cause we're going down very fast
We have saved the women and the
Children, and try and hold out to the last"
You know, at last they called all the
Passengers, told them to hurry to the deck
Then they realized that the mighty Titanic was an awful fatal wreck
They lowered the lifeboats, one by one,
Taking women, children from the start
The poor men,
They were left to care for
Themselves, but they sure played a hero's part
You know, they stood out on that
Sinkin' deck, and they was all in great despair
You know, accidents may happen most
Any time, and we know not when and where
The music played as they went down, on that dark blue sea
And you could hear the sound,
That familiar hymn, singin' "Nearer My God To Thee"
They say, "Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer my God to Thee
Nearer to Thee
So, like a wanderer
As the sun goes down
Darkness be over me"
Just then the Titanic went down
