A#m F# C#
Oh I'm sailin' away my own true love
A#m G#/C C#
I'm sailin' away in the morning
A#m F# C#
is there something I can send you from across the sea
A#m G#/C C#
From the place that I'll be landing?
A#m F# C#
No, there's nothin' you can send me, my own true love
A#m G#/C C#
There's nothin' I wish to be ownin'
A#m F# C#
Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled
A#m G#/C C#
From across that lonesome ocean.
A#m F# C#
Oh, but I just thought you might want something fine
A#m G#/C C#
Made of silver or of golden
A#m F# C#
Either from the mountains of Madrid
A#m G#/C C#
Or from the coast of Barcelona?
A#m F# C#
Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night
A#m G#/C C#
And the diamonds from the deepest ocean
A#m F# C#
I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss
A#m G#/C C#
For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'.
A#m F# C#
That I might be gone a long time
A#m G#/C C#
And it's only that I'm askin'
A#m F# C#
Is there something I can send you to remember me by
A#m G#/C C#
To make your time more easy passin'?
A#m F# C#
Oh, how can, how can you ask me again
A#m G#/C C#
It only brings me sorrow
A#m F# C#
But the same thing I would want today
A#m G#/C C#
I would want again tomorrow.
A#m F# C#
When I got a letter on a lonesome day
A#m G#/C C#
It was from her ship a-sailin'
A#m F# C#
Saying I don't know when I'll be comin' back again
A#m G#/C C#
It depends on how I'm a-feelin'.
A#m F# C#
Well, if you, my love, must think that-a-way
A#m G#/C C#
I'm sure your mind is roamin'
A#m F# C#
I'm sure your thoughts are not with me
A#m G#/C C#
But with the country to where you're goin'.
A#m F# C#
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
A#m G#/C C#
Take heed of the stormy weather
A#m F# C#
And yes, there's something you can send back to me
A#m G#/C C#
Spanish boots of Spanish leather.
