Roy Acuff - The Great Titanic lyrics

It was on one Monday morning About one o'clock When that great Titanic Began to reel and rock People began to scream and cry Saying, oh, Lord, we're going to die It was sad when that great ship went down It was sad when that great ship went down It was sad when that great ship went down Husbands and their wives, little children lost their lives It was sad when that great ship went down When building that great ship They said what they would do They said that they could build a ship That water would not go through God with power in his hand Showed the world it could not stand It was sad when that great ship went down When that great ship left England She was making for the shores When the rich declared They would not ride with the poor So they put the poor below And they were the first to go It was sad when that great ship went down It was sad when that great ship went down It was sad when that great ship went down Husbands and their wives, little children lost their lives It was sad when that great ship went down
