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
