( 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 . . .
