Blood Red Roses Lyrics

My good ole Captain said to me,
Go down, you Blood Red Roses, go down.
We'll plunder to a high degree.
Go down, you Blood Red Roses, go down.
[Refrain]
Oh, your boots and poses,
Go down, you Blood Red Roses, go down.

Around the German lines we'll go.
Go down, you Blood Red Roses, go down.
For ashes make the flowers grow.
Go down, you Blood Red Roses, go down.

[Refrain]
Around Japan we'll have to go.
Go down, you Blood Red Roses, go down.
For that is where the hot winds blow.
Go down, you Blood Red Roses, go down.

[Refrain]

On eastern seas we're bound to sail.
Go down, you Blood Red Roses, go down.
For sunken ships will tell no tale.
Go down, you Blood Red Roses, go down.
[Refrain]

On no man's land we'll dance around.
Go down, you Blood Red Roses, go down.
We'll drive the Roses underground.
Go down, you Blood Red Roses, go down.

[Refrain]
