SHACKLETON'S WHISKEY
Beth DeSombre


The Great War had started but he travelled southward
To conquer the continent, master the ice
But soon the ship foundered, the passageway frozen
The hull paid the ultimate price
With no other the option the men set out walking
With banjo and Bible in tow
All sure that he would know where to go

So here’s a toast to all the explorers
Who know that adventure’s the goal
Who hope to be worthy to honor his name
But they’ll never drink Shackleton’s whiskey again
No they’ll never drink Shackleton’s whiskey

He’d been here before; his dreams and ambitions
Were frozen forever in Antarctic ice
Along with his liquor, although he might need it
A symbol of his sacrifice
But this time the ice that had splintered the ship
Would not let them try to make land
For six months they camped on the ice and planned

So here’s a toast to all the explorers
Who know that adventure’s the goal
Who hope to be worthy to honor his name
But they’ll never drink Shackleton’s whiskey again
No they’ll never drink Shackleton’s whiskey

As soon as the ice had begun to release
They piled into lifeboats to head for the shore
But where they made landfall was not on a trade route
So he put to sea one time more
He crossed open ocean in only a rowboat
Then over a mountain for aid
After two years on ice they were finally saved.

So here’s a toast to all the explorers
Who know that adventure’s the goal
Who hope to be worthy to honor his name
But they’ll never drink Shackleton’s whiskey again
No they’ll never drink Shackleton’s whiskey

So when you fear that just missed the mail ship
And all your adventures have reached no good end
Just ask whether you’ve found new routes to discover
And trouble and fate to transcend
Shackleton may have saved all of his comrades
But this detail needs be told
His whole life, he never reached the pole

So here’s a toast to all the explorers
Who know that adventure’s the goal
Who hope to be worthy to honor his name
But they’ll never drink Shackleton’s whiskey again
No they’ll never drink Shackleton’s whiskey again
No they’ll never drink Shackleton’s whiskey
