Boots Of Spanish Leather |
| Oh, I’m sailin' away my own true love |
| I’m sailin' away in the morning |
| Is there something I can send you from across the sea |
| From the place that I’ll be landing? |
| No, there’s nothin' you can send me, my own true love |
| There’s nothin' I wish to be ownin' |
| Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled |
| From across that lonesome ocean |
| Oh, but I just thought you might want something fine |
| Made of silver or of golden |
| Either from the mountains of Madrid |
| Or from the coast of Barcelona |
| 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 wishin' to be ownin' |
| That I might be gone a long time |
| And it’s only that I’m askin' |
| Is there something I can send you to remember me by |
| To make your time more easy passin' |
| 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 |
| I got a letter on a lonesome day |
| It was from her ship a-sailin' |
| Saying I don’t know when I’ll be comin' back again |
| It depends on how I’m a-feelin' |
| Well, if you, my love, must think that-a-way |
| I’m sure your mind is roamin' |
| I’m sure your heart is not with me |
| But with the country to where you’re goin' |
| So take heed, take heed of the western wind |
| Take heed of the stormy weather |
| And yes, there’s something you can send back to me |
| Spanish boots of Spanish leather |
