Accompaniment by Thomas Venam:
Lyrics
- 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
- 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
