Lyrics

  1. Out of the bay, sailing away
    There went the steamship Titanic
    Stately and proud, gay was the crowd
    As she steamed o’er the big blue Atlantic
    No one was sad, all hearts were glad
    Till early in the dawn she struck a berg
    A crash was heard and soon the ship was gone

Refrain
My sweetheart went down with the ship
Down to an ocean grave
One of the heroes who gave his life
The women and children to save
Gone but not forgotten
As the big ship rolled and dipped
He went to sleep in the mighty deep
My sweetheart went down with the ship

  1. Out in the sea, parted from me
    Down in the deep he is sleeping
    Fearless and brave, his life he gave
    And the angels their watch will be keeping
    Tho’ parted now, I know somehow
    Again your face I’ll see
    On golden shore, we’ll meet once more
    For all Eternity
