And then there's this much earlier version:

    Mat 16:1   The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting 
desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.

    Mat 16:2   He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, 
[It will be] fair weather: for the sky is red.

    Mat 16:3   And in the morning, [It will be] foul weather to day: for the 
sky is red and lowring. O [ye] hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the 
sky; but can ye not [discern] the signs of the times?


>From: Jerky <tib at virtualservice.com>

>I've always heard and sing-sung this variant:
>
>Red sky at night is a sailor's delight.
>Red sky in the morning, dear sailors, take warning.
