The Titanic Lyrics

(It was 1912 and the Titanic was gonna take her maiden voyage from Liverpool, England to New York City and the great black boxer, Jack Johnson, he's heavyweight champion of the world. Now he wanted to ride that Titanic but the captain, the captain of the Titanic, he said, "This ain't no coal hauler." They wouldn't let him onboard and that gave Jack Johnson the blues but when he heard the news of what happened to the Titanic well, he got to feeling a little better about it.) Oh it was midnight on the sea And a band played "Nearer my God to thee" Fare thee Titanic, oh fare thee well It was midnight on the sea And a band played "Nearer my God to thee" Fare thee Titanic, oh fare thee well Jack Johnson went to get onboard Now the captain said, "We don't haul no coal" Fare thee Titanic, oh fare thee well And Jack Johnson went to get onboard That captain said, "We don't haul no coal" Fare thee Titanic, oh fare thee well Titanic went around a curve And she run into a big iceberg Fare thee Titanic, oh fare thee well Titanic went around a curve And she run into a big iceberg, didn't see it Fare thee Titanic, oh fare thee well There were lifeboats all around Save the woman and the children, let the men go down Fare thee Titanic, oh fare thee well There were lifeboats all around Save the woman and the children, let the men go down Fare thee Titanic, oh fare thee well Jack Johnson, when he heard the news He started shakin' them blues Fare thee Titanic, oh fare thee well Jack Johnson, when he got the shock Should of seen him dance the Eagle Rock Fare thee Titanic, oh fare thee well And it's midnight on the sea And a band played "Nearer my God to thee" Fare thee Titanic, oh fare thee well And it was midnight on the sea And a band played "Nearer my God to thee" Fare thee Titanic, oh fare thee well And it's fare thee Titanic, oh fare thee well
