( 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 . . .
