about

This song tells the story of Henry Hudson's final voyage.

lyrics

We left from London town in April on our ship Discovery
Northwest we strove to find the fabled passage to the Orient
We braved the ice and battled currents in a great and whirling sea
And as the summer passed we sailed a path we thought was Heaven sent

By winter we had searched the bay from north to south with naught to show
Our sailors feared that we were lost and several cursed the Captain’s name
But like a man possessed he pushed us, turning back he would not know
Convinced the knowledge that he claimed to have would surely bring us fame

And soon our boat was trapped, encased in ice and snow
The scurvy gripped us and our food was running low
The cold was endless, bringing madness to our heads
Fearing surely that we’d all too soon be dead

With the thaw, we rounded up the Captain, his son and his men
We put them in the shallop, cut it loose and left them to their fate
I'm left to ponder if our mutiny was saintly or a sin
But that matters little as the waters of the western bay still wait
