Attention why I want sing this song about that Titanic went down
It was the last time Titanic fare thee well

When that Titanic cast all alone, the Captain he hollered all aboard
It was the last time Titanic fare thee well

Shouts was heard came a shout everybody wondered what that noise was all about
They cried fare thee Titanic fare thee well

Soon after midnight fell they found the Titanic had broke in half
They cried fare thee Titanic fare thee well

When Mrs. Smith reached the _____ He ordered the lifeboats down
They cried fare thee Tiatanic fare you well

Then from the ______ they heard When the captain said women and children all first
They cried fare thee Titanic fare you well

It was out in the middle of the sea, nothing but water and Icebeg could be seen
They cried fare thee Titanic fare you well

When Mr Astor kissed his wife goodbye didn't know that he kissed his wife to die
He cried fare thee Miss Astor baby fare you well
