Blood Red Roses Sting

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
