God Moves On The Water
(Trad)
God moves on the water
April the fourteenth day
God moves on the water
Everybody going to run and pray
When Titanic left Southampton
Everyone was bold and gay
But when they struck that iceberg
Well I know their minds was changed
Well, God moves on the water
April the fourteenth day
God moves on the water
Everybody going to run and pray
Well the mothers told their daughters
On a pleasure trip they’d go
But when they struck that iceberg
Well they ain’t been seen no more
Well, God moves on the water
April the fourteenth day
God moves on the water
Everybody going to run and pray
Well they were warned by a freight boat
Captain Smith would not take heed
No he would not hear that wireman
And he ran with the greatest speed
Well, God moves on the water
April the fourteenth day
God moves on the water
Everybody going to run and pray
Well one man John Jacob Astor
He was a man so bold and brave
While this great ship was sinking
All the women he’s trying to save
Well, God moves on the water
April the fourteenth day
God moves on the water
Everybody going to run and pray
Well he kissed his wife the last time
Then the boiler did explode
He put her in a lifeboat
And said I won’t see you no more, no
Well, God moves on the water
April the fourteenth day
God moves on the water
Everybody going to run and pray
Well the story of this shipwreck
It’s a tale too sad to tell well
One thousand and six hundred
Went down forever to dwell
Well, God moves on the water
April the fourteenth day
God moves on the water
Everybody going to run and pray
Well the fourteenth day of April
Nineteen hundred and twelve
One thousand and six hundred
Went down forever to dwell
Well, God moves on the water
April the fourteenth day
God moves on the water
Everybody going to run and pray
God moves on the water
April the fourteenth day
God moves on the water
Everybody going to run and pray
Well, God moves on the water
April the fourteenth day
God moves on the water
Everybody going to run and pray
