My Sweetheart Went Down With the Ship (1912)

A 1912 popular song words by Roger Lewis music by F. Henri Klickmann Lyrics 1. Out of the bay, sailing away There went the steamship Titanic Stately and proud, gay was the crowd As she steamed o’er the big blue Atlantic No one was sad, all hearts were glad Till early in the dawn she struck a berg A crash was heard and soon the ship was gone Refrain My sweetheart went down with the ship Down to an ocean grave One of the heroes who gave his life The women and children to save Gone but not forgotten As the big ship rolled and dipped He went to sleep in the mighty deep My sweetheart went down with the ship 2. Out in the sea, parted from me Down in the deep he is sleeping Fearless and brave, his life he gave And the angels their watch will be keeping Tho’ parted now, I know somehow Again your face I’ll see On golden shore, we’ll meet once more For all Eternity ------------------------------------
