Franklin and his century men,
set forth upon the waves,
to offer up a challenge,
to find the jotun way.

Franklin and his one hundred men,
braved seas storming and cold,
and cheering for stout England,
held fast and bravely bold.

Franklin and his myriad men,
were not afraid to die,
though breathless in cold northlands,
they’re dead you vainly lie.

Franklin and his great host of men,
still sail amidst the ice,
still looking for home again,
God spare the sailors’ lives.
