THE HINDENBURG DISASTER

On one evening about half-past four,
The Hindenburg was coming along,
But it was running awful slow.
Just a little while, just before night,
The Hindenburg had burnt clean out of sight.
Oh, Lord, burnt clean out of sight,
The Hindenburg burnt clean out of sight.

The people all thought the Hindenburg was supposed to begin to roll,
The people in New York City, they all begin to stroll.
The Hindenburg when it caught afire,
It was up in the world just a little bit too high.
Oh, Lord, little bit too high,
Just up in the world a little bit too high.

Oh, the Hindenburg, the Hindenburg,
Whole town's talkin' 'bout the Hindenburg
On one evening 'bout half-past four,
The Hindenburg come runnin' slow.

Oh, the Hindenburg, oh, the Hindenburg,
Largest ship was, in this world,
Whole town's talkin' 'bout the Hindenburg,
Largest ship was in this world.

The people saw the boat, when it begin to roll,
The people on the ground begin to stroll.
Whole town's talkin' 'bout the Hindenburg,
Largest ship afloat in this world.

Oh, when it caught afire,
Up in the world a little bit too high.
Oh, the Hindenburg down on the ground,
Woman kept throwin' her li'l chillun down.

Oh, chillun down, chillun down,
Woman kept throwin' her chillun down.
Whole town's talkin' 'bout the Hindenburg.
Largest ship it was in this world.

It's a sin and a shame,
A sin and a shame,
Just look at that Hindenburg's frame.
Sin and a shame, sin and a shame,
The Hindenburg burnt up to her frame.
