Blood Red Roses
Oh me bonny bunch of roses oh
Go down you blood red roses go down
It’s time for us to roll and go
Go down you blood red roses go down

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

Oh we’re bound away around Cape Horn
Go down you blood red roses go down
We wish to hell we’d never been born
Go down you blood red roses go down

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

Around the Cape we all must go
Go down you blood red roses go down
Around Cape Stiff through the ice and snow
Go down you blood red roses go down

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

Me boots and clothes are all in pawn
Go down you blood red roses go down
And it’s bleedin’ drafty around Cape Horn
Go down you blood red roses go down

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

Them Spanish girls are pullin’ strong
Go down you blood red roses go down
Hang down me boys it won’t take long
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
We’re the bullies for 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
