Blood Red Roses lyrics

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.

cho: 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
`Round 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.

It`s `round Cape Horn you`ve got to go,
For that is where them whalefish blow.

It`s growl you may, but go you must,
If you growl too much your head they`ll bust.

Just one more pull and that will do
For we`re the boys to kick her through.
