But Captain Smith he didn't care, the warnings went unheard No galeforce wind, no heavy swell, no ice would make him turn She was a queen and a virgin bride, a gorgeous precious maid And the peaceful sun lay over the shelves on that glorious April day She was a queen and a virgin bride when she fought the ocean brave Until the ice cut deep in her soul and she sank to her watery grave 'Twas just before the midnight hour when passengers noticed a jerk A wave or a whale they clueless thought, but an iceberg the ship badly hurt The whole side was cut 'neath the waterline and torn apart line tin The unsinkable queen tilted up to the left and water filled her up the the brim For passengers and crew aboard the death throes now begun There were only lifeboats for half of them, the others all had to drown Ten miles away the California lay, so close to prevent the worst But her crew lay asleep in the cabins there, not far away the bulkheads burst 2.20 a.m. that misty morn' in 1912 The gleaming gem of the White Star Line sank down in her seabed to dwell 'Bout 1500 lost their lives and rest in icy grave Just 700 lucky ones remind them in their prayers Related Lyrics Random lyrics: AN IRISHMANS EPISTLE TO THE OFFICERS AND TROOPS AT BOSTON, AND THE BAND PLAYED WALTZING MATILDA, ARANS LONELY HOME, ARTHUR McBRIDE, BACK HOME IN DERRY, BALLYROAN, BARRYS COLUMN, BELFAST BRIGADE, BELIEVE ME IF ALL THOSE ENDEARING YOUNG CHARMS, BLACK AND TANS!, BLACK IS THE COLOUR, BOLD ROBERT EMMET, BOLD TENANT FARMER, BOOLAVOGUE (1), BOOLAVOGUE (2), BOTANY BAY, BOYS OF FAIRHILL, BOYS OF KILMICHAEL, BOYS OF THE OLD BRIGADE, BREAD AND FISHES, BRENNAN ON THE MOOR, BRIDGIT OMALLEY, BRING THEM HOME, BROAD BLACK BRIMMER, BUACHAILL N IRNE, CARRICKFERGUS (1), CARRICKFERGUS (2), COAST OF MALABAR, COMICAL GENIUS, COURTIN IN THE KITCHEN, THE ARMAGH SNIPER, THE BARD OF ARMAGH, THE BIRMINGHAM SIX, THE BLACK AND TAN GUN, THE BOLD BLACK AND TAN, THE BOLD FENIAN MEN, THE BOLD ODONOHUE, THE BOYS FROM THE COUNTY ARMAGH, THE BOYS FROM THE COUNTY CORK, THE BOYS FROM THE COUNTY MAYO, THE BOYS OF KILLYBEGS, THE CLIFFS OF DONEEN, THE CRACK WAS NINETY IN THE ISLE OF MAN, THE CREGGAN WHITE HARE, THE CROPPY BOY, THE CURRAGH OF KILDARE, Black Velvet Band, Bodenstown Churchyard, Bridget Flynn, Drunken Sailor, Other Irish Folksongs song Lyrics A BUNCH OF THYME Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Little Bit Of Heaven Lyrics A Man You Dont Meet Every Day Lyrics A Mothers Love Is A Blessing Lyrics A Muirsheen Durkin Lyrics A Nation Once Again Lyrics A Pair Of Brown Eyes Lyrics A Rainy Night In Soho Lyrics A Soldiers Song Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Irish Rovers Lyrics Irma Schultz Lyrics Irma Tapio Lyrics Irma Thomas Lyrics Iron And Wine Lyrics IRON BUTTERFLY Lyrics Iron Fire Lyrics Iron Maiden Lyrics Iron Rain Lyrics Iron Savior Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
