| The Frozen Man |
| Last thing I remember is the freezing cold |
| Water reaching up just to swallow me whole |
| Ice in the rigging and howling wind |
| Shock to my body as we tumbled in |
| Then my brothers and the others are lost at sea |
| I alone am returned to tell thee |
| Hidden in ice for a century |
| To walk the world again |
| Lord have mercy on the frozen man |
| Next words that were spoken to me |
| Nurse asked me what my name might be |
| She was all in white at the foot of my bed |
| I said angel of mercy I’m alive or am I dead |
| My name is William James McPhee |
| I was born in 1843 |
| Raised in Liverpool by the sea |
| But that ain’t who I am |
| Lord have mercy on the frozen man |
| It took a lot of money to start my heart |
| To peg my leg and to buy my eye |
| The newspapers call me the state of the art |
| And the children, when they see me, cry |
| I thought it would be nice just to visit my grave |
| See what kind of tombstone I might have |
| I saw my wife and my daughter and it seemed so strange |
| Both of them dead and gone from extreme old age |
| See here, when I die make sure I’m gone |
| Don’t leave 'em nothing to work on |
| You can raise your arm, you can wiggle your hand |
| And you can wave goodbye to the frozen man |
| I know what it means to freeze to death |
| To lose a little life with every breath |
| To say goodbye to life on earth |
| To come around again |
| Lord have mercy on the frozen man |
| Lord have mercy on the frozen man |
