Down where the tradewinds play
Down where you lose the day
We found a new world
Where Paradise starts we traded hearts
Way down where the tradewinds play
Music was everywhere
Flowers were in her hair
Under an awning of silvery boughs we traded vows
The night that I sailed away
Oh, tradewinds, what are vows that lovers make
Oh, tradewinds, 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 tradewinds play
