The ballad of the Titanic
--
Come gather round me people thru history we dwelve
To the mystery of that Ship of dreams to Belfast 1912
Acclaimed o be the greatest boat that ever was to be
The greatest ocean liner that would ever sail the sea
The people that set sail on her for far Americay
Were working class and peasant folk and gentry of the day
But nont foreseen the tragedy that was to lie ahead
As tru the still dark waters the Titanic onward sped
Chorus :
Unsinkable unsinkable it was the crew's refrain
Unthinkable unthinkable the damage she'd sustain
But sink she did and quick she slid beneath the icy waves
Took 1500 people to the their lonely watery graves
She sailed her way from Queenstown on the southwest coast of Cork
To make her maiden voyage to the city of New York
But off the coast of Newfoundland as tru the sea she plied
An Iceberg tore 300 foot of plating from her side
Chorus :
Unsinkable unsinkable it was the crew's refrain
Unthinkable unthinkable the damage she'd sustain
But sink she did and quick she slid beneath the icy waves
Took 1500 people to the their lonely watery graves
Yes 5 nights out of Queenstown on that starry moonless night
She met her fatal rendez-vous that fateful sunday night
For underneath the water line there lay in deadly wait
A mountain of an iceberg that would seel her awful fate
Chorus :
Unsinkable unsinkable it was the crew's refrain
Unthinkable unthinkable the damage she'd sustain
But sink she did and quick she slid beneath the icy waves
Took 1500 people to the their lonely watery graves
A hundred years have come and gone a century has passed
Her fascination still as strong the spell that she has cast
Her voyage tru the waves of time behind her veil we dwelve
That fateful Sunday's fourteenth night, of April 1912
