Trade Winds Lyrics - Hank Snow

Down where the trade winds play down where they lose the day 

We found a new world where paradise starts 

We traded high 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 make 

Trade winds are they only made to break 

When it is May again I'll sail away again 

Though I'm returning it won't be the same 

She traded her name way down where the trade winds play 

[ steel - guitar ] 

Trade winds what are vows...
