{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}

{bracketed words are sung by
Nat in unison with background singers}
(words
in parentheses are sung by background singers
only)
