Tradewinds Lyrics

Tradewinds take me home
to the land where I belong
Tradewinds blow me home
nevermore to ever roam

My sweetheart’s name is Sally Brown
she used to live in Nassau town
in a jealous fight I shot a man
now I have to run away to a far off land

So I roamed and I roamed for a long long time
trying to find peace of mind
Oh how I long for my Sally Brown
but she’s far away in Nassau town

Tradewinds take me home
to the land where I belong
Tradewinds blow me home
nevermore to ever roam

I traveled far and I traveled wide
and still I found no place to hide
so I returned to meet my fate
in the gloomy jail now I wait

My running away made no sense
the judges said it was self defense
so I settled down with my Sally Brown
and we live together in Nassau town

Tradewinds take me home
to the land where I belong
Tradewinds blow me home
nevermore to ever roam

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
