Tommy Makem Go Down You Blood Red Roses
Our boots and clothes are all in pawn
Go down you blood red roses, go down
It's mighty drafty 'round Cape Horn
Go down you blood red roses, go down
Chorus:
Oh, you pinks and poses
Go down you blood red roses, go down
But it's 'round Cape Horn that we must go
For that is where them whale fish blow
My dear old mother wrote to me
Oh son, dear son come home from sea
Now one more pull and that will do
For we're the boys to pull her through
