Where The Trade Winds Blow

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
