This is a newer song about the ship "The Titanic" sung by the German Folkrock-Band "PADDY GOES TO HOLYHEAD":THE TITANIC
On the eleventh of April nineteen hundred and two
The Queen of the ocean had started her life
With thousand three hundred Passengers she sailed out from Cork
Led by nine hundred sailors on her way to New YorkOn the 14th of April at 11.40 p.m.
An outlook guy named Freddy Fleet the alarm-bell 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 nightThe water filled the liner the death-struggle takes 3 hours
The operator's working hard an emergency he morsed
"California can't you hear me - is your wireless working there?"
Wallace Hartley and his ragtime band played a tune called Derry AirOn the 15th of April 1912
The Queen of the ocean had ended her life
18 lifeboats were in store seven hundred for to save
But thousand five hundred passengers rest in their icy graveCHORUS: Riddle of the century
Pride of the White Star Line
She become a wet reliquary
A victim of the brine
