Sultana

Jay Farrar

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
Five dollars a head, Captains Mason and Hatch
Boarded six-times the legal load of the Sultana
Leaving Vicksburg, bound for Cairo
Memphis was the tragic last port of call of Sultana

Six 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

Three boilers blew fire and lit up the night sky
Hell was a better place than on board the Sultana

The worst American disaster on water
The Titanic of the cold Mississippi was the Sultana

Hell was a better place that night
Titanic of the cold Mississippi was the Sultana
