(On beat 12 call:)
Sides face grand square
Sailing out of Boston one hundred days at sea
On the good ship Bonadventure, a'whaling men are we
We set sail for the Cape horn, where the seas are cold as ice
The wind will bite right through you like a thousand starving mice
Men star left one time around you go
Star thru, California twirl, promenade her home
Go down you blood red roses
Go down you pinks and posies

Heads promenade halfway around the ring
Sides square thru 4 hands around I sing
All the way & then a right & left thru for me
With an eight chain 6 get it moving around you see
Go down you blood red roses
Go down you swing & promenade
Go down you blood red roses
Go down you pinks and posies
