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
