lyrics

The Last Voyage of the Karluk

When we caught our first glimpse of the ship
The captain scoffed and then he quipped:
“This old brigantine is ill equipped”
And still we set sail on the Karluk

The arctic waters proved quite a foe
The ice grabbed hold and would not let go
Our crew abandoned ship just before
The ship sank to the deep ocean floor

I don’t wanna die on the seas
Fall to nephritis disease
Don’t want starvation to be
The end of the road for me
Don’t want carbon monoxide to seize
My lungs so I can’t breathe
I fear that death will creep
And freeze me in my sleep

Set up ‘Shipwreck Camp’ on the ice
Before long we were short on supplies
Hunger rampant, tempers high
(Our) hope grew dim as (the) months rolled by

Thirteen months later help arrived
Fourteen of us were left alive
Eleven others had no such luck
On the Last Voyage of the Karluk

I don’t wanna die on the seas
Fall to nephritis disease
Don’t want starvation to be
The end of the road for me
Don’t want carbon monoxide to seize
My lungs so I can’t breathe
I fear that death will creep
And freeze me in my sleep
