BLOOD RED ROSES

Our boots and clothes are all in pawn
Go down, you blood red roses, go down!
And its flamin' drafty 'round Cape Horn,
Go down, you blood red roses, go down!

Oh, you pinks and posies,
Go down, you blood red roses, go down!

It's 'round that cape we all must go…
Go down, you blood red roses, go down!
For that is where those whale fish blow
Go down, you blood red roses, go down!

Oh, you pinks and posies,
Go down, you blood red roses, go down!

Oh my old mother, she wrote to me…
Go down, you blood red roses, go down!
My dearest son, come home from sea.
Go down, you blood red roses, go down!

Oh, you pinks and posies,
Go down, you blood red roses, go down!

It's growl you may, but go you must,
Go down, you blood red roses, go down!
If you growl too hard your head they'll bust.
Go down, you blood red roses, go down!

Oh, you pinks and posies,
Go down, you blood red roses, go down!

Just one more pull and that will do
Go down, you blood red roses, go down!
For we're the boys to kick her through.
Go down, you blood red roses, go down!


Oh, you pinks and posies,
Go down, you blood red roses, go down!
