Lord Franklin Video (MV)

It was homeward bound one night on the deep
Swinging in my hammock I fell asleep
I dreamed a dream and thought it true
Concerning Franklin and his gallant crew

With a hundred sailors he sailed away
To the frozen ocean in the month of May
To seek that passage around the pole
Where we poor sailors do sometimes go

Through cruel hardship these men did go
His ship on mountains of ice was drove
Where 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 men 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'd freely give
To know on Earth my Franklin do live
