FIDDLE INTRO SOLO
Titanic was a ship, she was on a moderate trip
To sail across the Atlantic Ocean wide
Oh, it was a pleasure trip, millionaires on board the ship
But none never lived to reach the other side
REFRAIN: Titanic was her name, Atlantic was her fame
She sank about five hundred miles from shore
Sixteen hundred were at sea, went down with angry waves
Went down with angry waves to rise no more
FIDDLE SOLO
Oh, it was a fearful scene, just like an awful dream
To see so many perish beneath the waves
Children, husbands and their wives, were pleading for their lives
But they all went down beneath the angry waves
REFRAIN: Titanic was her name, Atlantic was her fame
She sank about five hundred miles from shore
Sixteen hundred were at sea, went down with angry waves
Went down with angry waves to rise no more
FIDDLE SOLO
Was a dark and moonless night, and not a rim of light
To let them see the horrors of the sea
Oh, it was a solemn sound, the ship was going down
To hear the band play "Nearer My God To Thee"
REFRAIN: Titanic was her name, Atlantic was her fame
She sank about five hundred miles from shore
Sixteen hundred were at sea, went down with angry waves
Went down with angry waves to rise no more
