[E] Onward bound, [A] one night on the day, [B]
[F#m] In my hammock [B] now I put to sleep,
[E] I dreamed a dream, thought it true,
[A] [Em] [F#m]
[Em] Discerning [B] Franklin now,
[A]
[E]
With a hundred [A] seamen he sailed away, [E] [F#m] To the frozen ocean [B]
in the month of May,
[E]
To seek a passage now, around the pole,
[Em] [F#m] Where [E] weep our [B] seamen, [A] who [E] sometimes go,
[Em]
[E]
Through cruel hardships [A] they made this grow, [E] [F#m]
And the ships on mountains [B] of ice was grown,
[E] Only the Eskimo, in his skin glow,
[B] [Em] Was the only [B] one now, [Em] [A] that ever [E] came through,
In Buffet Bay [A] was a whale, [B]
the fate of [F#m] Franklin [B] now,
[E]
Not Duncan, but Taro,
[B]
[A] [E]
[A] [E]
[A]
[E]
and now my [A] burden it gives me pain,
[E] [F#m]
My love Franklin [B] I will
[E]
dream again, [A]
[Em] [F#m] To [E] sail not now, [A] my Franklin [E]
dearly,
I will not,
[Em]
[E]
