Blood Red Roses

Our boots and clothes is all in pawn Go down, you blood red roses, go down And it's 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 Around all stiff through the frost and snow 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 much 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'll 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
