( 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 . .
