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 Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage And make a Northwest Passage to the sea CREDITS ℗ Tenwest Released on: 2021-10-26 Vocals: Jonny Stewart Vocals: Luke Taylor Vocals: Sam Pope Vocals: Robert Waters Vocals: Seth Stanton Watkins #folk #shanty #seashanty #folkmusic #Wellermen
