the revels chorus - lady franklin's lament lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i was homeward bound on the mighty deep
swinging in my hammock, i fell asleep
i dreamed a dream, and i thought it true
concerning franklin and his gallant crew

[verse 2]
with a hundred seamen, he sailed away
to the frozen ocean in the month of may
to seek a passage around the pole
where we poor sailors do sometimes go

[verse 3]
in baffin’s bay where the whalefish blow
the fate of franklin, no man may know
the fate of franklin, no tongue can tell
lord franklin with his sailors do dwell

[verse 4]
through cruel hardships, they vainly strove
their ship on mountains of ice was drovе
where the eskimo in his skin canoе
was the only man who could ever come through

[verse 5]
and now my hardship it brings me pain
for my long_lost franklin, i’d plumb the main
ten thousand pounds i would freely give
to know on earth if my franklin do live
[verse 6]
a voice within that i can’t control
gives assurance of his peaceful soul
oh, arctic seas, what you have concealed
at the judgement day will be revealed

- the revels chorus
