Leadbelly - The Titanic lyrics

Captain Smith, when he got his load Mighta heared him holl'in', All aboa'd Cryin', Fare thee, Titanic, fare thee well Jack Johnson wanted to ge on boa'd; Captain Smith hollered, "I ain' haulin' no coal." Cryin', Fare thee, Titanic, fare thee well It was midnight on the sea Band playin', "Nearer My God to Thee." Cryin', Fare thee, Titanic, fare thee well Had them lifeboats aroun' , Savin' the women, lettin' the men go down Cryin', Fare thee, Titanic, fare thee well When the women got out on land Cryin', "Lawd, have mercy on my man." Cryin', Fare thee, Titanic, fare thee well Jack Johnson heard the mighty shock Mighta seen the black rascal doin' the Eagle Rock Cryin', Fare thee, Titanic, fare thee well Black man oughta shout for joy Never lost a girl or either a boy Cryin', Fare thee, Titanic, fare thee well Hope this helps you Mr. Seed Consider it a "peace offering" Your most humble servant - gargoyle
