Captain he hollered - All aboard

Titanic was comin' 'round the curve
When it ran in that great big iceberg
Fare thee, Titanic, fare thee well
(He didn't see it)

Titanic was sinking down
They had them lifeboats around
Fare thee, Titanic, fare thee well
When the Titanic was sinking down
They had them lifeboats around

Savin' the women and children and lettin' the men go down

Savin' the women and children and lettin' the men go down.
Fare thee, Titanic, fare thee well
