Written and arranged by Hank Snow
Down where the trade winds play
Down where they lose the day
We found a new world
Where Paradise starts we traded hearts
The night that I sailed away
Flowers were in her hair
Music was everywhere
Under an awning of silvery boughs we traded vows
The night that I sailed away
Trade winds, what are vows that lovers made
Trade winds, are they only made to break
When it is May again
I'll sail away again
Though I am returning it won't be the same
She traded her name
Way down where the trade winds play
Trade winds, what are vows that lovers made
Trade winds, are they only made to break
When it is May again
I'll sail away again
Though I am returning it won't be the same
She traded her name
Way down where the trade winds play
