Boots Of Spanish Leather lyrics

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 roarmin
I m sure your thoughts are 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.
