Frozen in Frobisher Bay
James Gordon, 1993· Songs Well-Known in America · p.112
Chorus:
C F C
Cold is the arctic sea
C F C
Far are your arms from me
Am G F C
Long will this winter be
Am G C
Frozen in Frobisher Bay
C G C
Frozen in Frobisher Bay
Am C
"One more whale," our captain cried
Deep were the crashing waves
Strange is a whaler's fate
Am C G
"One more whale and we’ll beat the ice."
That tore our whalers mast a-way
To be saved from the raging waves
Am C
But the winter star was in the sky
Dark are these sunless days
Only to waste away
Am G
The seas were rough the winds were high. and (Chorus)
Waiting for the ice to break. and (Chorus)
Frozen in this lonely grave. and (Chorus)
