| Oh, come back to me Oh, come back to me Red sailors, red sailors
|
| Bring my love to me
|
| 'Twas down where fisher-folk gather
|
| I wandered far from the throng
|
| I heard a fisher-girl singing
|
| And this refrain was her song
|
| Red sails in the sunset
|
| Way out on the sea
|
| Oh, carry my loved one
|
| Home safely to me He sailed at the dawning
|
| All day I’ve been blue
|
| Red sails in the sunset
|
| I’m trusting in you
|
| Swift wings you must borrow
|
| Make straight for the shore
|
| We marry tomorrow
|
| And he goes sailin' no more
|
| Red sails in the sunset
|
| Way out on the sea
|
| Oh carry my loved one
|
| Home safely to me Oh, carry my loved one
|
| Home safely to me |
