1 5 4 6m
Ah for just one time, I would take the Northwest Passage
4 1 2m 4To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea
Tracing one warm line through a land so wide and savage
4 1 5 1And make a Northwest Passage to the sea
1 5 4 6m
Westward from the Davis Straight, 'tis there 'twas said to lie
4 1 2m 4The sea route to the Orient for which so many died
Seeking gold and glory, leaving weathered broken bones
4 1 5 1And a long-forgotten lonely cairn of stones
1 5 4 6m
Three centuries there-after, I take passage over-land
4 1 2m 4In the footsteps of brave Kelso, where his "Sea of Flowers" be-gan
Watching cities rise be-fore me, then be-hind me sink a-gain
4 1 5 1This tardiest ex-plorer, driving hard across the plain
1 5 4 6m
And through the night, be-hind the wheel, the mileage clicking west
4 1 2m 4I think upon Mac-kenzie, David Thompson, and the rest
Who cracked the mountain ramparts, and did show a path for me
4 1 5 1To race the roaring Fraser to the sea
How then am I so different from the first men through this way
Like them I left a settled life, I threw it all away
To seek a Northwest Passage at the call of many men
To find there but the road back home again
