Red Sails In the Sunset
( 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 . . .
( Oh O'oo ! )
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 . .
.
