Misc Folk - Blood-red Roses - Текст песни

Our boots and clothes are all in pawn;GO DOWN, YOU BLOOD RED
ROSES, GO DOWN!

And it's mighty drafty 'round Cape Horn; GO DOWN, YOU BLOOD RED
ROSES, GO DOWN!


CHORUS:
Oh, you pinks and posies; GO DOWN, YOU BLOOD RED ROSES, GO DOWN!
Oh, you pinks and posies; GO DOWN, YOU BLOOD RED ROSES, GO DOWN!


You've had your advance and to sea must go;
Chasing whales through the frost and the snow.

(chorus)


My old mother, she wrote to me;
"My dearest son, come home from the sea!"

(chorus)


But around Cape Horn we all must go;
'Round Cape Horn through the ice and the snow.

(chorus)


'Round Cape Horn we all must go;
For that is where the whale fish blow.


(chorus)


Just one more pull and that will do;
For we're the bullies to kick her through.


(chorus)
