Lyrics
I was homeward bound one night on the deep
Swinging in my hammock, I fell asleep
I dreamed a dream, and I thought it true
Concerning Franklin and his gallant crew
With a hundred seamen they sailed away
In that frozen ocean in the month of May
To seek a passage round the poles
Where we poor sailors do sometimes go
Through cruel hardships they freely strove
Their ship on mountains of ice and snow
But the Eskimo in his skin canoe
Was the only one that ever came through
He came through
Near Baffin Bay, where the whale-fish blow
The fate of Franklin no man may know
The fate of Franklin no tongue may tell
Lord Franklin alone with the sailors do dwell
And now my burden, it gives me pain
For the long-lost Franklin I would cross the main
Ten thousand pounds would I freely give
To know on earth did my Franklin do live
To live
