On the 11th of April nineteenhundred and twelve The queen of the ocean had started her life With thirteen hundred passangers she sailed out from Cork Lead by 900 sailors on her way to New York Uh-uh-uh riddle of the century Uh-uh-uh pride of the White-Star-Line Uh-uh-uh ye became a wet reliquary Uh-uh-uh a victim of the brine On the forteenth of Aprli at eleven fourth pm An outlook guy named freedy fleet the alarmbell he did ring Captain Smith gave the order: "half steam ahead!" he cried As the steamer got a narrow shave from a giant in the night (Chorus) The water filled the liner The death-struggle takes 3 hours The operators working hard an emergency he morsed "Californian can't you hear me - is your wireless working there?" Wallace hartley and his rag-time-band played a tune called Derry Air (Chorus) On the fifteenth of April nineteenhundred and twelve The queen of the ocean had ended her life Eighteen lifeboats were in store seven hundred for to save But fifteen hundret passangers rest in their icy grave (Chorus)
