{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)
