Blood Red Roses

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 she 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

To chase them whales through 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

Oh ye pinks and posies

It's 'round Cape Horn you've got to go

Go down ye blood red roses go down

For that is where them whalefish blow

Go down ye blood red roses go down

Oh ye pinks and posies

Go down ye blood red roses go down

It's growl you may but go you must

Go down ye blood red roses go down

If you growl too much your head they'll bust

Go down ye blood red roses go down

Oh ye pinks and posies

Go down ye blood red roses go down

Just one more pull and that will do

Go down ye blood red roses go down

For we're the boys to kick her through

Go down ye blood red roses go down

Oh ye pinks and posies

Go down ye blood red roses go down
