Blood Red Roses
Our boots and clothes are all in pawn
Go down, ye blood red roses, Go down
And its flamin' drafty 'round Cape Horn
Go down, ye blood red roses, Go down
Oh, ye pinks and posies
Go down, ye blood red roses, Go down
My dear old mother said to me
Go down, ye blood red roses, Go down
My dearest son, come home from sea
Go down, ye blood red roses, Go down
Oh, ye pinks and posies
Go down, ye blood red roses, Go down
It's 'round Cape Horn we all must go
Go down, ye blood red roses, Go down
'Round Cape Horn in the frost and snow
Go down, ye blood red roses, Go down
Oh, ye pinks and posies
Go down, ye blood red roses, Go down
You've got your advance, and to sea you'll go
Go down, ye blood red roses, Go down
To chase them whales through the frost and snow
Go down, ye blood red roses, Go down
Oh, ye pinks and posies
Go down, ye blood red roses, Go down
It's 'round Cape Horn you've got to go
Go down, ye blood red roses, Go down
For that is where them whalefish blow
Go down, ye blood red roses, Go down
Oh, ye pinks and posies
Go down, ye blood red roses, Go down
It's growl you may, but go you must
Go down, ye blood red roses, Go down
If you growl too much your head they'll bust
Go down, ye blood red roses, Go down
Oh, ye pinks and posies
Go down, ye blood red roses, Go down
Just one more pull and that will do
Go down, ye blood red roses, Go down
For we're the boys to kick her through
Go down, ye blood red roses, Go down
Oh, ye pinks and posies
Go down, ye blood red roses, Go down
