( 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 . . .
