It was about the Titanic and we used to sing it in Music lessons way back in 1975!!!!!!!!!!! I used to love the song and was wondering if anyone remembers it ? Here are the lyrics.........
Oh, they built the ship Titanic, to sail the ocean blue
And they thought they had a ship that the water wouldn't go through; But the good Lord raised His hand, said the ship would never land. It was sad when the great ship went down.
Chorus:
Oh, it was sad, so sad
It was sad when the great ship went down
To the bottom of the sea
(Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives)
It was sad when the great ship went down.
Oh, they were not far from shore, when they heard a mighty roar
And the rich refused to associate with the poor
So they put them down below, where they'd be the first to go
It was sad when the great ship went down.
I am sure there was more just cant remember it all :)

This was agreat favourite in my Scouting days don't know who wrote it though.
The Ship Titanic
Oh, they built the ship Titanic to sail the ocean blue
And they thought they had a ship that the water would never leak through
But the Lord's almighty hand knew that ship would never stand
It was sad when the great ship went down
Oh, it was sad, it was sad; it was sad, it was sad
It was sad when the great ship went down, to the bottom of the ..
Husbands and wives, little-bitty children lost their lives
It was sad when that great ship went down
Oh, they sailed away from England, and were almost to the shore
When the rich refused to associate with the poor
So they put them down below, where they were the first to go
It was sad when the great ship went down
The boat was full of din, and the sides about to burst
When the captain shouted "Women and children first!"
Then the captain tried to wire, but the wireless was on fire
It was sad when the great ship went down
So they swung the lifeboats out o're the deep and raging sea
The band struck up with 'Nearer My God to Thee'
Little children wept and cried, as the waves swept, o're the side
It was sad when the great ship went down
Oh the moral to be gained from this tale of woe and pain
Is that if you're rich you should not be so vain
For in the good Lord's eyes, you're the same as other guys
It was sad when the great ship went down
Oh they built another ship they called, "Titanic II."
They were sure this time that the water would never leak thorough
So they launched it with a cheer, and it sank right off the pier
It was sad when the great ship went down

Titanic
Submitted by Arvin Levine
Oh, they built the ship Titanic, to sail the ocean blue.
For they thought it was a ship that water would never go through.
It was on its maiden trip, that an iceberg hit the ship.
It was sad when the great ship went down.
Chorus:
It was sad, so sad.
It was sad, so sad.
It was sad when the great ship went down (to the bottom of the....)
Uncles and aunts, little children lost their pants.
It was sad when the great ship went down.
They were not far from the shore, 'bout a thousand miles or more,
When the rich refused to associate with the poor.
So they threw them down below, where they were the first to go.
It was sad when the great ship went down.
Repeat chorus
Oh, the heroes saved the weak, as the ship began to leak.
And the band on deck played on.
With, "Nearer my God to Thee", they were swept into the sea.
It was sad when the great ship went down.
Repeat chorus
Oh they built a sister ship, Called the S.S. Kunatah
And they knew it was a ship that would never get very far.
So, they christened it with GOP,
And it sunk with a Ker-Plop!
It was glad when the sad ship went down.
Repeat chorus
Additional Verses
They threw the lifeboats over, in the dark and stormy sea.
And the band began to play "Oh Give Thy Soul To Thee."
Little children wept and cried as they left their mother's side.
Repeat chorus
Oh the moral of this story, the moral of this song,
Is that one shouldn't go where he does not belong.
For in the good Lord's eyes, you're as good as other guys,
It was sad when the great ship when down.
Repeat chorus
Oh the moral of this story, is plain as you can see.
Never trust a sailor on the high sea.
He'll call you honey-darling, and say that he'll be true,
But when the ship goes down he'll say the hell/heck with you.
Repeat chorus
After last chorus, there is an extra "so sad, too bad" spoken-sung, and this:
Kerplunk
It sunk
Hunk a junk
In the sea
without me
Luckily
Hee hee hee.

No, not me, Big Dog. I can honestly say I don't remember ever hearing this one. About the only rappers I ever listened to were MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice. Yeah, I know, its bad to admit to this.
