(It was 1912 and the Titanic was gonna take her maiden voyage from Liverpool, England to New York City and the great black boxer, Jack Johnson, he's heavyweight champion of the world. Now he wanted to ride that Titanic but the captain, the captain of the Titanic, he said, "This ain't no coal hauler." They wouldn't let him onboard and that gave Jack Johnson the blues but when he heard the news of what happened to the Titanic well, he got to feeling a little better about it.)
Oh it was midnight on the sea
And a band played "Nearer my God to thee"
Fare thee Titanic, oh fare thee well
It was midnight on the sea
And a band played "Nearer my God to thee"
Fare thee Titanic, oh fare thee well
Jack Johnson went to get onboard
Now the captain said, "We don't haul no coal"
Fare thee Titanic, oh fare thee well
And Jack Johnson went to get onboard
That captain said, "We don't haul no coal"
Fare thee Titanic, oh fare thee well
Titanic went around a curve
And she run into a big iceberg
Fare thee Titanic, oh fare thee well
Titanic went around a curve
And she run into a big iceberg, didn't see it
Fare thee Titanic, oh fare thee well
There were lifeboats all around
Save the woman and the children, let the men go down
Fare thee Titanic, oh fare thee well
There were lifeboats all around
Save the woman and the children, let the men go down
Fare thee Titanic, oh fare thee well
Jack Johnson, when he heard the news
He started shakin' them blues
Fare thee Titanic, oh fare thee well
Jack Johnson, when he got the shock
Should of seen him dance the Eagle Rock
Fare thee Titanic, oh fare thee well
And it's midnight on the sea
And a band played "Nearer my God to thee"
Fare thee Titanic, oh fare thee well
And it was midnight on the sea
And a band played "Nearer my God to thee"
Fare thee Titanic, oh fare thee well
And it's fare thee Titanic, oh fare thee well
