Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, I'm sailing away my own true love
I'm sailing away in the morning
Is there something I can send you from across the sea
From the place that I'll be landing?
[Verse 2]
No, there's nothing you can send me my own true love
There's nothing I wish to be owning
Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled
From across that lonesome ocean
[Verse 3]
Oh, but I just thought you might want something fine
Made of silver or golden
Either from the mountains of Madrid
Or from the coast of Barcelona
[Verse 4]
Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night
And the diamonds from the deepest ocean
I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss
For that's all I'm wishing to be owning
[Verse 5]
That I might be gone a long time
And it's only that I'm asking
Is there something I can send you to remember me by
To make your time more easy passing?
[Verse 6]
Oh, how can, how can you ask me again?
It only brings me sorrow
The same thing I want from you today
I would want again tomorrow
[Verse 7]
I got a letter on a lonesome day
It was from her ship a sailing
Saying I don't know when I'll be coming back again
It depends on how I'm feeling
[Verse 8]
Well, if you my love must think that a way
I'm sure your mind is roaming
And I'm sure your heart is not with me
But with the country to where you're going
[Verse 9]
So take heed, take heed of that western wind
Take heed of stormy weather
And yes, there's something you can send back to me
Spanish boots of Spanish leather
