As performed by Cisco Houston (With Woody Guthrie and Sonny Terry)
Traditional
Appears on:It was sad when that great ship went down It was sad when that great ship went down Cold ocean floor must now be your home It was sad when that great ship went down It was sad when that great ship went down It was sad when that great ship went down Cold ocean floor must now be your home It was sad when that great ship went down It was sad when that great ship went down Sad when that great ship went down Cold ocean floor will now be your home Sad when that great ship went down It was sad when that great ship went down It was sad when that great ship went down Cold ocean floor must now be your home It was sad when that great ship went down
Of note:
Wonder which great ship that was..... Rather a limited lyrical palette here.
