what the hell was up with that titanic song we all learned in elementary school?
Oh, they built the ship Titanic
To sail the ocean blue,
And they thought they had a ship
That the water would never go through.
But Lord’s Almighty Hand
Said the ship would never land,
It was sad when the great ship went down.
Oh, it was sad, it was sad,
It was sad when the great ship went down
To the bottom of the sea-ea-ea-ea
(Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives)
It was sad when the great ship went down.
O they were not far from shore,
When they heard that mighty roar
And the rich refused to
Associate with the poor.
So they put them down below
Where they’d be the first to go,
It was sad when the great ship went down.
Oh, they swung the lifeboats out
O’er the deep and raging sea,
When the band struck up with,
“Nearer My God to Thee.”
Little children wept and cried,
As the waves swept o’er the side,
It was sad when the great ship went down.
