Key: DEnglish
Chorus
Ah for Djust one Atime
I would Gtake the Northwest BmPassage
To Gfind the hand of DFranklin
Reaching Emfor the DBeaufort GSea
Tracing Done warm Aline
Through a Gland so wide and Bmsavage and
GMake a Northwest DPassage Emto the Dsea
Verse
GWestward from the DDavis Strait
'Tis Athere was said to Bmlie
The Gsea route to the DOrient
For Emwhich so many Gdied
GSeeking gold and Dglory
Leaving Aweathered broken Bmbones and
A Glong forgotten Dlonely Acairn of Bmstones
Chorus
Ah for Djust one Atime
I would Gtake the Northwest BmPassage
To Gfind the hand of DFranklin
Reaching Emfor the DBeaufort GSea
Tracing Done warm Aline
Through a Gland so wide and Bmsavage and
GMake a Northwest DPassage Emto the Dsea
Verse
Three Gcenturies thereDafter
I take Apassage over Bmland
In the Gfootsteps of brave DKelso
Where his Em"sea of flowers" beGgan
Watching Gcities rise beDfore me
Then beAhind me sink aBmgain
This Atardiest exBmplorer
Driving Ghard aDcross Athe Bmplains

And Gthrough the night beDhind the wheel
The Amileage clickBming west
I Gthink upon MacDKenzie
David EmThompson and the Grest
Who Gcracked the mountain Dramparts and
Did Ashow a path for Bmme
To Grace the roaring DFraser Ato Bmthe sea

How Gthen am I so Ddifferent
From the Afirst men through this Bmway
Like Gthem I left a Dsettled life
I Emthrew it all aGway
To Gseek a Northwest DPassage
At the Acall of many Bmmen
To Gfind there but the Droad back Ahome aBmgain
