The Titanic Lyrics - Singles - Paddy Goes To Holyhead

On the 11th of April 1912 

The queen of the ocean had started her life 

With1300 passangers she sailed out from Cork 

Lead by 900 sailors on her way to New York 

Chorus: 

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 14th of Aprli at 11.40 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 

(chorus) 

On the 15th of April 1912 

The queen of the ocean had ended her life 

18 lifeboats were in store 700 for to save 

But 1500 passangers rest in their icy grave 

(Chorus)
