About the Artist
Lyrics
[Verse 1] Oh, I'm sailin' away, my own true love I'm a-sailin' away in the mornin' Is there somethin' I can send you from across the sea From the place that I'll be landin'? [Verse 2] No, there's nothin' you can send me, my own true love There's nothin' I'm wishing to be ownin' Just a-carry yourself back to me unspoiled From across that lonesome ocean [Verse 3] Ah, but I just thought you might want somethin' fine Made of silver or of golden Either from the mountains of Madrid Or from the coast of Barcelona [Verse 4] But if I had the stars of 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' [Verse 5] Well, I might be gone a long old time And it's only that I'm asking Is there somethin' I can send you to remember me by To make your time more easy passin'? [Verse 6] How can, how can you ask me again? It only brings me sorrow The same thing I would want today I would want again tomorrow [Harmonica Solo] [Verse 7] Oh, I got a letter on a lonesome day It was from her ship a-sailin' Sayin', "I don't know when I'll be comin' back again It depends on how I'm a-feelin'" [Verse 8] If you, my love, must think that-a-way I'm sure your mind is a-roamin' I'm a-sure your thoughts are not with me But with the country to where you're goin' [Verse 9] So, take heed, take heed of the western winds Take heed of the stormy weather And, yes, there's somethin' you can send back to me Spanish boots of Spanish leather
