We were homeward bound one night on the deep
Em                       A
Swinging in my hammock i felt asleep
D                       G          D
I dreamed a dream and i thought it true
G          A                G       D
Concerning Franklin and the gallant crew
[and so on the same chords as in the fst verse]
With a hundred seamen he sailed away
To the frozen ocean in the mouth of May
To seek a passage around the pole
Where all poor sailors do sometimes go
Through cruel hardships they vainly strove
The ships on mountains of ice was drove
Only the Eskimo in his skin canoe
Was the only one that ever came through
In Baffin Bay where the whalefish blow
The fate of Franklin no man may know
The fate of Franklin no tongue can tell
And Lord Franklin among his seamen do dwell
And now my burden it gives me pain
For my Lord Franklin i'd sail the main
Ten thousand pounds i would freely give
To know Lord Franklin and where he is
