Blood Red Roses V2

Our boots and clothes are all in pawn

Go down, you blood red roses, Go down!

Well it’s flamin’ drafty ’round Cape Horn,

Go down, you blood red roses, Go down!

Chorus

Oh, you pinks and posies

Go down, you blood red roses, Go down! 

My dear old Mother said to me.

My dearest son come home from sea

It’s ’round Cape Horn we all must go

Around Cape Horn in the frost and snow.

You've got your advance, and to sea you'll go

To chase them whales through the frost and snow

Its ‘round Cape Horn you’ve got to go

For that is where them whale fish blow

It’s growl you may but go you must

If you growl to much you’re head they’ll bust

Just one more pull and that’ll do

For we’re the boys to kick ‘er through!
