TITANIC (RISE NO MORE) Sailing out on the Titanic Some ninety miles from shore, When suddenly it struck an iceberg, And sank to rise no more. CHORUS: Lost on the great Titanic Sinking to rise no more; The number, sixteen hundred That failed to reach the shore. There were paupers, merchants, and rich men Sailing out on this boat; And when it sank in the ocean You could see their bodies float. The men stood back like heroes. Sending their wives to the shore; They kissed, shook hands, and parted, To meet on earth no more. The band was playing sadly, "Nearer, My God, To Thee;" lt seemed to play its utmost As it sank in the deep blue sea. Varant of Lost on the Lady Elgin; See also ÿLDYELGN See also ÿOLDCANOE ÿTITANIC1 From Southern Folk Ballads, McNeill. Collected from Lula Davis, Ak, 1951. @sailor @wreck @ship filename[ TITANIC2 TUNE FILE: TITANIC2 CLICK TO PLAY RG |
