Titanic Blues by "Hi" Henry Brown

Hi Henry Brown - Titanic Blues; Brown and Charley Jordan, guitars in E position, standard tuning.

Early one mornin', just about four o'clock

It was early one mornin', just about four o'clock

When that old Titanic began to reel and rock

Smith took his glasses and walked out to the front

Captain Smith took his glass and he walked out to the front

And he spied the iceberg a-comin', gon' Lord, have to bump

Some was drinkin', some was playin' cards

And it's some was drinkin', some was playin' cards

Some was in their corner prayin' to their God

Little children cryin', "Mama, mama, what shall we do?"

Captain Smith said, "Children, I'll take care of you"

'tanic sinkin' in the deep blue sea

Titanic sinkin' in the deep blue sea

And the band all playin' "Nearer My God To Thee"
