As I was going around Cape Horn
Go down, you blood-red roses, go down
I wished to the Lord I'd never been born
Go down, you blood-red roses, go down
All you pinks and posies
Go down, you blood-red roses, go down
Around that Cape in heavy gales
Go down, you blood-red roses, go down
And it's all for the sake of them sperm whales
Go down, you blood-red roses, go down
All you pinks and posies
Go down, you blood-red roses, go down
Around Cape Horn in frost and snow
Go down, you blood-red roses, go down
Around the Cape, we all must go
Go down, you blood-red roses, go down
All you pinks and posies
Go down, you blood-red roses, go down
Oh yes, my lad, we'll row alee
Go down, you blood-red roses, go down
Wе'll soon be far away from sea
Go down, you blood-red rosеs, go down
All you pinks and posies
Go down, you blood-red roses, go down
Just one more pull and that'll do
Go down, you blood-red roses, go down
And we're the boys to put her through
Go down, you blood-red roses, go down
All you pinks and posies
Go down, you blood-red roses, go down
Go down, you blood-red roses, go down
I wished to the Lord I'd never been born
Go down, you blood-red roses, go down
All you pinks and posies
Go down, you blood-red roses, go down
Around that Cape in heavy gales
Go down, you blood-red roses, go down
And it's all for the sake of them sperm whales
Go down, you blood-red roses, go down
All you pinks and posies
Go down, you blood-red roses, go down
Around Cape Horn in frost and snow
Go down, you blood-red roses, go down
Around the Cape, we all must go
Go down, you blood-red roses, go down
All you pinks and posies
Go down, you blood-red roses, go down
Oh yes, my lad, we'll row alee
Go down, you blood-red roses, go down
Wе'll soon be far away from sea
Go down, you blood-red rosеs, go down
All you pinks and posies
Go down, you blood-red roses, go down
Just one more pull and that'll do
Go down, you blood-red roses, go down
And we're the boys to put her through
Go down, you blood-red roses, go down
All you pinks and posies
Go down, you blood-red roses, go down
