Im sailing away my own true love
Im sailing away in the morning
Is their something I can send you from across the sea
From the place where Ill be landing
No theres nothing you can send me my own true love
Theres nothing that Im wishing to be owning
Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled
From across that lonesome ocean
Ah but I just thought you might like something fine
Made of silver or of golden
Either from the mountains of madrid
Or the coast of barcelona
And if I had the stars of the darkest night
Or a diamond from the deepest ocean
Id forsake them all for your sweet kiss
For thats all Im wishing to be owning
Well I might be gone such a long, long time
And its only that Im asking
Is their something I can send you to remember me by
To make your time more, easy passing
Oh how can, oh how can you ask of me again
It only brings me sorrow
The same thing that I would want from you today
I would once, again tomorrow
Oh but I got a letter on a long, lonesome day
And it was from her ship a sailing
Saying I dont know when I will be back again
It depends on how Im feeling
Well you my love if you must ask of it that way
Well Im sure your mind is roamin
And Im sure your thoughts are not with me
But with the country where youre going
So take heed, take heed of the western winds
Take heed of the stormy weather
And yes theres something you can send back to me
Spanish boots of spanish leather
