Blood Red Roses - lyrics

1. My bonnie bunch of roses O!
Hang down, you blood red roses, hang down!
It's time for us to roll and go!
Hang down, you blood red roses, hang down!
Oh, you pinks and posies!
Hang down, you blood red roses, hang down!

2. Oh, yes, me lads, we'll roll alee!
We'll soon be far away at sea!

3. We're bound away, around Cape Horn!
You'll wish to hell you'd never been born!

4. Around Cape Stiff we all must go!
Around the cape through ice and snow!

5. My boots and clothes are all in pawn.
It's bleeding draughty round Cape Horn!

6. It's growl you may but go you must.
You growl too much your head they'll bust.

7. The girls are waiting straight ahead!
A good strong pull should lift the dead.

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