Red Sails In The Sunset Lyrics - Big Joe Turner

'Twas down where fisher folk gather, 

I wander'd far from the throng 

I heard a fisher girl singing 

And this refrain was her song: 

(Chorus) 

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. 

Red sails, the night wind is blowing 

And clouds are hiding the moon 

Above no bright stars are glowing 

It means the storm's coming soon.
