The Great Titanic Lyrics - Roy Acuff

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
