Boots of Spanish Leather |
| I’m sailing away my own true love |
| I’m sailing away in the morning |
| Is their something I can send you from across the sea |
| From the place where I’ll be landing |
| No there’s nothing you can send me my own true love |
| There’s nothing that I’m 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 |
| I’d forsake them all for your sweet kiss |
| For that’s all I’m wishing to be owning |
| Well I might be gone such a long, long time |
| And it’s only that I’m 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 don’t know when I will be back again |
| It depends on how I’m feeling |
| Well you my love if you must ask of it that way |
| Well I’m sure your mind is roamin' |
| And I’m sure your thoughts are not with me But with the country where you’re going |
| So take heed, take heed of the western winds |
| Take heed of the stormy weather |
| And yes there’s something you can send back to me Spanish boots of spanish leather |
