Was down where fisher folk gathered
I wandered far from the throng
I heard a fisher girl singin'
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 sailing no more Red sails in the sunset way out on the sea
Oh carry my loved one home safely to me Swift wings you must borrow, make straight for the shore
We marry tomorrow and he goes sailing no more Red sails in the sunset way out on the sea
Oh carry my loved one home safely to me
