Titanic

Cat. #1339 (MFH #628) - As sung by Bright Newton, Fayetteville, Arkansas on July 11, 1969

VERSE 1
Upon th bay, sailing away
Sailed th steamship, th Titanic
Stately an' proud, gay was th crowd
As she sailed over the deep blue Atlantic

VERSE 2
No one was sad, all hearts were glad
Till early in th morn
She struck a berg, a crash was heard
An' then th ship was gone

VERSE 3
My sweetheart went down with th ship
Gone to an ocean grave
He was a hero that gave his life
Th women an' children to save

VERSE 4
He's gone but not forgotten
As th big ship rose an' dipped
He went to sleep in th mighty deep
My sweetheart went down with th ship
