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?" 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"
