Lord Franklin - The Trammps

It was homeward bound one night on the deep

Swinging in my hammock i fell asleep

I dreamed the dream and i thought it true

Concerning franklin and his gallant crew

With a hundred seamen he sailed away

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 the mainly strove

Their ship on mountains with 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

When franklin along with his sailors do dwell

And now my burden it gives me pain

For my long lost franklin id cross the main

Ten thousand guineas would i freely give

To say on earth that my franklin do live
