FROBISHER BAY

LYRICS

Cold is the arctic sea 
Far are your arms from me 
Long will this winter be 
Frozen in Frobisher Bay 
Frozen in Frobisher Bay 

“One more whale,” our captain cried 
“One more whale and well beat the ice.” 
But the winter star was in the sky 
The seas were rough the winds were high. 

Deep were the crashing waves 
That tore our whalers mast away 
Dark are these sunless days 
Waiting for the ice to break. 

Strange is a whaler’s fate 
To be saved from the raging waves 
Only to waste away 
Frozen in this lonely grave.
