The Titanic by The Irish Rovers Lyrics

She was born in Belfast city
1912 it being the year
Irish pride was in the air
Their hearts were full of cheer
The world stood in amazement
For they'd never seen before
Such a stately queen to rule the waves
And sail from shore to shore

She was the grandest of them all
Her lines were sleek and bold
She sparkled like the jewels bright
A wonder to behold
The gentry sailed away in style
Fine wines did freely flow
While the second class in steerage were
All quartered down below

Roll on Titanic roll
You're the pride of the White Star Line
Roll on Titanic roll
Into the mists of time
Roll on Titanic roll
You're the pride of the White Star Line
Roll on Titanic roll
Into the mists of time
Well the captain said full speed ahead
We'll show the world her might
So keep the boilers stoked me boys
We'll race her through the night
We'll own the fastest record
For the crossing of the sea
And the RMS Titanic She'll go down in history

Roll on Titanic roll
You're the pride of the White Star Line
Roll on Titanic roll
Into the mists of time
Roll on Titanic roll
You're the pride of the White Star Line
Roll on Titanic roll
Into the mists of time

On the 14th night of April
When the ship was far from land
Dreams were torn asunder
As cruel fate brought down her hand
Titanic struck an iceberg
And she slipped beneath the waves
And fifteen hundred and seventeen souls went to their watery graves

Roll on Titanic roll
You're the pride of the White Star Line
Roll on Titanic roll
Into the mists of time
Roll on Titanic roll
You're the pride of the White Star Line
Roll on Titanic roll
Into the mists of time
A hundred years have come and gone and still we know her name
When a voyage bound for glory
Turned to tragedy and shame
It's a night to be remembered
For man's own frailty
When the mighty ship Titanic sank
To the bottom of the sea

Roll on Titanic roll
You're the pride of the White Star Line
Roll on Titanic roll
Into the mists of time
Roll on Titanic roll
You're the pride of the White Star Line
Roll on Titanic roll
Into the mists of time

Roll on Titanic roll
You're the pride of the White Star Line
Roll on Titanic roll
Into the mists of time
Roll on Titanic roll
You're the pride of the White Star Line
Roll on Titanic roll
Into the mists of time
You're the pride of the White Star Line
Roll on Titanic roll
Into the mists of time
Roll on Titanic roll
You're the pride of the White Star Line
Roll on Titanic roll
Into the mists of time
