On a Monday mornin', just about nine o'clock
Great Titanic began to reel and rock
Children screamin' and cryin', "Guess I'm going to die!"
Wasn't that sad when that great ship went down?

REFRAIN: Sad when that great ship went down
Sad when that great ship went down
Husbands and wives, children lost their lives
Wasn't that sad when that great ship went down?

When that ship left England, makin' for the shore
The rich had declared, would not ride with the poor
Put the poor below, well, first they had to go
Wasn't that sad when that?

Husbands and wives, children lost their lives

People on that ship, long ways from home
Their friends all around, they know their time had come
Death come a-riding by, sixteen hundred had to die
Wasn't that sad when that?

REFRAIN: Sad when that
Sad when that great
Husbands and wives, children lost their lives
Wasn't that sad when that?

While they was building, prisoners there, too
Now they would build a ship the water can't come through
Oh God, now
Wasn't that sad when that great ship went down
