[D] I was homeward bound one night [G] on the deep
[Em] Swinging in my hammock I [A] fell asleep
I [D] dreamed a dream and I [G] thought it [D] true
[Em] Concerning [A] Franklin and his [G] gallant [D] crew [G]
{c: }
[D] With a hundred seamen he [G] sailed away
[Em] O'er frozen oceans in the [A] month of May
[D] To seek a passage a[G]round the [D] pole
[Em] Where we poor [A] seamen must [G] sometimes [D] go [G]
{c: }
[D] Through cruel hardships they [G] mainly strove
[Em] Their ship on mountains of [A] ice was drove
[D] Only the Eskimo with his [G] skin ca[D]noe
[Em] Was the only [A] one that [G] ever came [D] through [G]
{sos}
[D] I was homeward bound one night [G] on the deep
[Em] Swinging in my hammock I [A] fell asleep

{eos}
[D] In Baffin's Bay where the [G] whale fishes blow

[D] The fate of Franklin no [G] tongue can [D] tell
[Em] Lord Franklin [A] alone with his [G] sailors does [D] dwell [G]
{c: }
[D] And now my body it [G] gives me pain
