Lord Franklin |
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 seamen he sailed away |
To the frozen ocean in the month of May |
To seek a passage around the pole |
Where we poor seamen do sometimes go. |
Through cruel hardships they mainly strove |
Their ship on mountains of ice was drove |
Only the Eskimo with his skin canoe |
Was the only one that ever came through. |
In Baffin’s Bay where the whale fish blow |
The fate of Franklin no man may know |
The fate of Franklin no tongue can tell |
Lord Franklin along with his sailors do dwell. |
And now my burden it gives me pain, |
For my long lost Franklin I’d cross the main |
Ten thousand pounds I would freely give |
To say on earth that my Franklin do live. |
