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 . . .
