Red Sails in the Sunset
Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Three Bells [Bear Family] [1993]
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'll go sailing no more.
Red sails in the sunset
Way out on the sea
Oh, carry my loved one
Home safely to me.
--- Instrumental ---
Swift wings you must borrow
Make straight for the shore
We marry tomorrow
And he'll go sailing no more.
Red sails in the sunset
Way out on the sea
Oh, carry my loved one
Home safely to me...
