It was night A starry moonless sight Out in the mid Atlantic There sailed a ship of light She was big This ship of luxury Everything was peaceful No safer place to be
And she sailed Through the night On her way Down among the dead men Down among the dead men The band played She sailed the virgin She sailed the sea Down among the dead men
Captain Smith The master in command A man with wealth of wisdom A fine upstanding man But the fog He didn't hear the calls The ice block was waiting For fifteen hundred souls
And she sailed Through the night On her way Down among the dead men Down among the dead men The band played She sailed the virgin She sailed the sea Down among the dead men Down among the dead men And into history
