[verse 1]
There's that dreary month of April the saddest time in years
When we parted from our sister and the brothers we loved dear
With friends and good companions
Their loss we mourn full score
When we think they went from home sweet home
To the depths of the ocean low.

[chorus]
When the stormy winds are blowing
Where the strife for life did rage
Where their friends were they were going
But the Iceberg made their grave
Where the ship was doomed and sinking
And she ne'er will make our shores
Where the whale and shark surround her
There she's lost forever more.

[verse 2]
Where are they whom we call christian won't list to what I say
And take pity on those poor souls for whom we must daily pray
The Titanic made their Casket
The ocean made their grave
But the Lord hath heard their mourns and cries
from benath the Atlantic wave.

[repeat chorus]

[verse 3]
There are many aged mothers
In all the wide world o'er
Who will weep and wail in anguish
for some one who'll come no more
You may have some friend among them
And they were forced to go broken hearted
from dear home sweet home
to the depths of the ocean low

[repeat chorus]

[verse 4]
There was John Jacob Astor,
What a brave man was he
When he tried to save all female sex,
The young and all, great and small.
Then got drowned in the sea.
Their loss we mour full score.
But God hath heard the band serenade
From beneath thy Atlantic waves.

[repeat chorus]

[verse 5]
Commanders' name was Captain Smith
A Seaman bold was he
Though he tried to break all record
Where she now lies in the sea
From Belfast to Newfoundland
She sailed thy seas once o'er
She never will return once more
To dear Erin's lovely shore.

[repeat chorus]
