Red Sails in the Sunset
Wilhelm Grosz, Jimmy Kennedy
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
