It was down where fisher folk gathered

I wandered far from the town

I heard a fisher girl singin'

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 sailing no more

Red sails in the sunset way out on the sea

Oh carry my loved one home safely to me

Swift wings you must borrow  make straight for the shore

We marry tomorrow and he goes sailing no more

Red sails in the sunset way out on the sea

Oh carry my loved one home safely to me
