One night sad, one night bad, *** went down
One night sad, one night great, *** went down
Well, husbands and wives and their children lost their lives
One night sad, one night great, *** went down
When they was building the ship, they said what they could do
They would build a ship that water couldn't break through
God with the power in his hand, showed the world it could not stand
One night sad, one night great, *** went down
One night sad, one night great, *** went down
One night sad, one night great, *** went down
Well, husbands and wives and their children lost their lives
One night sad, one night great, *** went down
Well, the ship had just left England, it was making further shore
Rich had declared they wouldn't ride with the poor
They put the poor below, they were the first ones had to go
One night sad, one night great, *** went down
One night sad, one night great, *** went down
One night sad, one night great, *** went down
Well, husbands and wives and their children lost their lives
One night sad, one night great, *** went down
You know it must have been awful where those people on the sea
Said they were singing, near my God to thee
They were homeward bound, fifteen hundred had to drown
One night sad, one night great, *** went down
One night sad, one night great, *** went down
One night sad, one night great, *** went down
Well, husbands and wives and their children lost their lives
One night sad, one night great, *** went down
