SINKING OF THE TITANIC (Richard 'Rabbit' Brown) It was on the 10th of April on a sunny afternoon The Titanic left Southhampton, each one as happy as a bride and groom No one thought of danger or what their fate may be Until a gruesome iceberg caused 1500 to perish in the sea It was early Monday morning, just about the break of day Captain said call for help from the Carpathia and it was many miles away Everyone was calm and silent, asked each other what the trouble may be Not thinking that death was lurking there upon that northern sea The Carpathia received the wireless SOS re distress Come at once, we are sinking, make no delay and do your best Get the lifeboats all in readiness 'cos we're going down very fast We have saved the women and the children and tried to hold out to the last Now at last they called out all the passengers, told them to hurry to the deck Then they realised that the mighty Titanic was about to be a wreck They lowered the lifeboats one by one, taking women and children from the (start?) ? The poor men are left to care for themselves but they sure played a hero's part You know they stood out on that sinking deck and they was all in great despair You know accidents may happen most anytime and we know not when and where The music played as they went down on that dark blue sea And you could hear the sound of that familiar hymn, singing 'Nearer my God to Thee' Nearer my God to thee Nearer my God to thee Nearer my God to thee Nearer to thee Though like a wanderer As the sun goes down Darkness be over me Just then the Titanic went down Source: Richard 'Rabbit' Brown 'Sinking of the Titanic' Reissued on Various Artists 'Times Ain't What They Used to Be Vol 1 Yazoo 2028 @sailor @wreck @ship @sea filename[ TITANIC9 PS Oct00 |
