Subject: RE: Chord Req: leadbelly's 'titanic'
Love that third verse:
Jack Johnson want to get on board,
Captain said, "I ain't haulin' no coal."
Cryin' fare thee, Titanic, fare thee well
Here's a quote from the White Star Line in 1911:
"The OLYMPIC and TITANIC are not only the largest vessels in the world, they represent the highest attainments in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering; they stand for the pre-eminence of the Anglo-Saxon race on the ocean."
We read it at the Belfast Transportation Museum.
