We were 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 100 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
roll
Through cruel misfortune they vainly strove
Their ships on mountains of ice was
drove
Where the Eskimo with his skin canoe
Was the only one that could ever come
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 among his seamen do
dwell
And now my burden it gives me pain
For my long lost Franklin I would cross the
main
Ten thousand pounds I would freely give
To know that on earth my Franklin do
live
Sir John Franklin set out to find the Northwest Passage in 1845
skeletons were
found in 1859
