The Titanic Songtext / Lyric

On the 11th of April 1912

The queen of the ocean had started her life

With 1300 passangers she sailed out from Cork

Lead by 900 sailors on her way to New York



Chorus:

Uh-uh-uh, riddle of the century

Uh-uh-uh, pride of The White-Star-Line

Uh-uh-uh, ye became a wet reliquary

Uh-uh-uh, a victim of the brine






On the 14th of April at 11.40 pm

An outlook guy named Freedy Fleet the alarmbell he did ring

Captain Smith gave the order: "Half steam ahead!" he cried

As the steamer got a narrow shave from a giant in the night



(Chorus)



The water filled the liner

The death-struggle takes 3 hours

The operators working hard an emergency he morsed

"Californian can't you hear me - is your wireless working there?"

Wallace Hartley and his rag-time-band played a tune called Derry



(chorus)



On the 15th of April 1912

The queen of the ocean had ended her life

18 lifeboats were in store 700 for to save

But 1500 passangers rest in their icy grave



(Chorus)
