Lord Franklin

G            C
We were homeward bound one night on 
the deep
Am            D
Swinging in my hammock I fell asleep
G         C        G
I dreamed a dream and I thought it 
true
C        D           C           
Concerning Franklin and his gallant 
G
crew

G             C
With 100 seamen he sailed away
Am                  D
To the frozen ocean in the month of

C        D         C       G
Where we poor sailors do sometimes 
go.

G                   C
Through cruel hardships they vainly 
strove
Am                    D
Their ships on mountains of ice was 
drove
G                C          G
Only the Eskimo with his skin canoe
C                  D          C 
Was the only one that ever came 
      G
through

G                             C
In Baffin's Bay where the whale fish
 blow
Am               D
The fate of Franklin no man may know
G                           C    
The fate of Franklin no tongue 
       G
can tell
C     D                    C    
Lord Franklin among his seamen 
    G
do dwell

G                           C
And now my burden it gives me pain
Am              D
For my Lord Franklin I'd sail the 
main
G                         C      
Ten thousand pounds I would 
      G
freely give
C               D           C   
To say on earth that my Franklin
         G
 do live.
