Testo The Titanic Disaster - Pete Seeger
Testo della canzone The Titanic Disaster (Pete Seeger), tratta dall'album American Ballads
It was on one Monday morning
Just about one o'clock
When that great Titanic
Began to reel and rock
People began to scream and cry
Saying, "Lord, am I going to die?"
It was sad when that great ship went down
It was sad
It was sad
It was sad when that great ship went down
Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives
It was sad when that great ship went down
When that ship left England
It was making for the shore
The rich refused to associate with the poor
So they put the poor below
They were the first to go
It was sad when that great ship went down
It was sad
It was sad
It was sad when that great ship went down
Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives
It was sad when that great ship went down
While they were building
They said what they would do
"We will build a ship
That the water can't go through"
But God with power in hand
Showed the world that it could not stand
It was sad when that great ship went down
It was sad
It was sad
It was sad when that great ship went down
Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives
It was sad when that great ship went down
Those people on that ship
Were a long ways from home
With friends all around
They didn't know that the time had come
Death came riding by
Sixteen hundred had to die
It was sad when that great ship went down
It was sad
It was sad
It was sad when that great ship went down
Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives
It was sad when that great ship went down
While Paul was sailing
His men all around
God told him
That not a man should drown
"If you trust in me and obey
I will save you all today"
It was sad when that great ship went down
It was sad
It was sad
It was sad when that great ship went down
Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives
It was sad when that great ship went down
You know it must have been awful
With those people on the sea
They say that they were singing
"Near my God to thee"
While some were homeward bound
Sixteen hundred had to drown
It was sad when that great ship went down
It was sad
It was sad
It was sad when that great ship went down
Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives
It was sad when that great ship went down
