{Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea} 

Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me 

{She 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 she 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 she goes sailing no more 



{Red sails in the sunset} 

Way out on the sea (ooh-wee-ooh, wee-ooh) 

Oh, carry my loved one 

{Home safely to me}
