	Chorus: God moves on the water, (3) And the people had to run and pray. 1   In the year of nineteen and twelve, On-a April the thirteenth day. When the great Titanic was sinkin? down, Well, the peoples had to run and pray. 2  When the great Titanic was sinkin' down, Well, they throwed lifeboats around, Crying "Save the womens and childrens And let the mens go down." 3  When the lifeboats got to the landin5 The womens turned around, Cryin', "Look 'way across that ocean, Lawdy, At my husband drown." 4  Cap'n Smith was a-lyin' down, Was asleep for he was tired; Well, he woke up in a great fright As many gunshots were fired. 5  Well, that Jacob Nash was a millionaire, Lawd, he had plenty of money to spare; When the great Titanic was sinkin' down, Well, he could not pay his fare.
