Boots Of Spanish Leather Lyrics

Boots Of Spanish Leather lyrics

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
