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



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
