son volt - sultana lyrics
april 27, 1865 the worst american disaster of the maritime
no one knows the count of lives lost
the soldiers, civilians and the sisters of charity
$5 a head captains mason and hatch
boarded 6 times the legal load of the sultana
leaving vicksburg bound for cairo
memphis was the tragic last port of call of sultana
6 miles out of memphis a boiler gave out
from the flooding swift river and extra heavy load of sultana
the current was cold the river was wide
a mile to either side away from the burning sultana
3 boilers blew fire and lit up the night sky
h-ll was a better place than on board the sultana
the worst american disaster on water
the t-tanic of the cold mississippi was the sultana
h-ll was a better place that night
t-tanic of the cold mississippi was the sultana
