Lord Franklin

G                        C       Em7 Am
Was homeward bound one night on the deep
Am D7
Swinging in my hammock I fell asleep
G                    C             G
Dreamed a dream that I thought was true
Am              D7          C       G
Concerning Franklin and his gallant crew

G                        C          Em7 Am
With a hundred seamen he sailed away
Am                          D7 
To the frozen oceans in the month of May
G                 C          G
To seek a passage around the Horn
Am            D7            C         G
Where we poor sailors would sometimes go

G                             C            Em7 Am
Through cruel misfortune they vainly strove
Am                               D7
The ship on mountains of ice was drove
G                     C    G
To where the Eskimo’s king Kinuite
Am           D7           C    G
Was the only man who ever came through

G                        C            Em7 Am
In Baffins Bay where the whale fish go
Am                      D7
The fate of Franklin no man may know
G                    C             G 
The fate of Franklin no tongue can tell
Am   D7          C    G    
Lord Franklin sailors dwell

G                    C             Em7 Am
And now my burden it brings me pain
Am                   D7
For my Lord Franklin I’d sail the main
G                   C            G
A thousand pounds I would surely give
Am      D7       C          G
If Lord Franklin could only live
