paroles de chanson Blood-red Roses - Ian Manuel

Our boots and clothes are all in pawn
Go down, ye blood red roses, go down
On this 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

You've spent your money and to sea must go
Go down, ye blood red roses, go down
To Lord Saltpetre and Carlisle, ho!
Go down, ye blood red roses, go down
Oh, ye pinks and posies
Go down, ye blood red roses, go down

Well, growl ye may, but go ye must
Go down, ye blood red roses, go down
Just growl too much and your head'll bust
Go down, ye blood red roses, go down
Oh, ye pinks and posies
Go down, ye blood red roses, go down

Around that Cape we all must go
Go down, ye blood red roses, go down
Around Cape Stiff 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

Oh, my old mother, she wrote 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

Oh, rock and shackle is the cry
Go down, ye blood red roses, go down
Yes, blast it, topmast, sheave is dry
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
