Unsinkable: The 100th Anniversary of the Titanic Tragedy

             THE TITANIC

The pale moon rose in its glory
She's drifting from golden west
She told a sad, sad story,
Six hundred had gone to rest


The watchman was a-dreaming
Yes, dreaming a sad, sad dream
He dreamed the Titanic was sinking
Out on the deep blue sea


He rose and called a rich man
And told him to come to life
And try to save his baby
Also his darling wife


Cap' Smith must have been drinking
Not knowing that he done wrong
By trying to win the record
He let the Titanic go on


The band was out a-playing
Yes, playing far out on the sea
They spied the Titanic was sinking
Played "Nearer My God to Thee"


The sad news reached the city
The Titanic had gone down
There's many poor widows and orphans
A-walking all over the town


The little children were crying
For mama to come to stay
Oh, surely they'll invent something
To raise the Titanic someday

May all those who died rest in peace.
