Red, oh Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me, baby He sailed at the dawning, all the day I've been blue, baby 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 sailing no more Red sails in the sunset, baby, way out on the sea Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me
