lyrics

It 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 one hundred sea men he sailed away,
To the frozen ocean in the month of May,
To seek a passage around the pole
Where we poor sailors do sometimes go

Through cruel hardships they vainly strove
Their ship on mountains of ice they drove
Only the Eskimo in his skin canoe
Was the only one that ever came through

In Baffin bay where the whale-fish blow
The fate of Franklin no man may know
The fate of Franklin no tongue may tell
Where Franklin along with his sailors do dwell

And now my burden it brings me pain
For my long lost Franklin I would cross the main
Ten thousand pounds I would freely give
To say on this Earth that my Franklin still lives
