Lyrics
She was the pride of the Canada Line The Empress of Ireland Sailing upon the cold north tide Crossing the wild ocean It crossed in four days, 200 trips made In the service of many she’d been The great ship went down, one thousand souls drowned On the Empress of Ireland Friends they’d stroll upon her deck Waltzed in her ballroom grand While sleeping they drowned when the Empress went down Only five miles from land The Empress of Ireland Late in the spring nineteen-fourteen She met a terrible end She had the same crew but the captain was new When she set sail again He saw a light from a ship on that night Before the fog settled in They heard her horn sound as the ship ran her down The Empress of Ireland Friends they’d stroll upon her deck Waltzed in her ballroom grand While sleeping they drowned when the Empress went down Only five miles from land The Empress of Ireland In minutes all gone, sunk like a stone In a watery grave settled down Still resting they lie in the beds where they died On the Empress of Ireland The lifeboats they found, four hundred not drowned And the Salvation Army band One thousand souls drowned when the Empress went down Only five miles from land The Empress of Ireland Friends they’d stroll upon her deck Waltzed in her ballroom grand While sleeping they drowned when the Empress went down Only five miles from land The Empress of Ireland
