Ah, Lord
Ah, Lord
Year of nineteen hundred and twelve
April the fourteenth day
Great Titanic struck an iceberg
People had to run and pray
God moves, moves, God moves, ah
And the people had to run and pray
The guards who had been a-watching
Asleep 'cause they were tired
When they heard the great excitement
Then a gunshot was fired
God moves, moves, God moves, ah
And the people had to run and pray
Captain Smith gave orders
Women and children first
Many of the lifeboats piled right up
Many were liable to crush
God moves on, God moves, God moves, ah
And the people had to run and pray
Ahh-ah
