Margo	Origins: Blood Red Roses (what's it mean?) (142* d)	RE: Blood Red Roses	08 May 01
Like many shanties, I'm inclined to believe the double entendre idea. Yes, I believe the English empire was referred to as the bonny bunch of roses, as well as the heart of oak. I wonder what the meaning of "go down" is as that, it would seem, would have a bearing on what the blood red roses are... go down = may you sink into the sea??? Just a guess, Margo
