She left Southampton that April morn' in 1912 With more than 2000 on board on her maiden voyage to hell The largest ship the world ever had seen, an excess of luxury The unsinkable queen of the White Star Line, a place as safe as can be
She crossed the rough Atlantic when on sunday approached Cape Race Where lots of ships the whole day long signalled "Beware of the ice!" But Captain Smith he didn't care, the warnings went unheard No galeforce wind, no heavy swell, no ice would make him turn
She was a queen and a virgin bride, a gorgeous precious maid And the peaceful sun lay over the shelves on that glorious April day She was a queen and a virgin bride when she fought the ocean brave Until the ice cut deep in her soul and she sank to her watery grave
'Twas just before the midnight hour when passengers noticed a jerk A wave or a whale they clueless thought, but an iceberg the ship badly hurt The whole side was cut 'neath the waterline and torn apart line tin The unsinkable queen tilted up to the left and water filled her up the the brim
For passengers and crew aboard the death throes now begun There were only lifeboats for half of them, the others all had to drown Ten miles away the California lay, so close to prevent the worst But her crew lay asleep in the cabins there, not far away the bulkheads burst
2.20 a.m. that misty morn' in 1912 The gleaming gem of the White Star Line sank down in her seabed to dwell 'Bout 1500 lost their lives and rest in icy grave Just 700 lucky ones remind them in their prayers
