White Star Liner Songtext
von Public Service Broadcasting

It was time to go
Tide was fast and pulled her great bulk away from the quay
And her own three engines and 55,000 horsepower could take over

A sixth of a mile long
11 stories high
She was the largest and most luxurious liner in the world

White Star Liner
White Star Liner
White Star Liner
White Star Liner


After her trials, she left Belfast dock for Southampton
To her passengers, she seemed more like a huge floating hotel than a ship

White Star Liner
White Star Liner
White Star Liner
White Star Liner

Then, she set off for the open sea and New York
As she sailed away
Her builders had no doubt that this was the start of a great career

Start of a great career
