Boots of Spanish Leather Lyrics
[00:10.99] Oh, I'm sailing away, my own true love
[00:17.81] I'm sailing away in the morning
[00:24.63] Is there something I can send you from across the sea?
[00:31.66] From the place where I'll be landing?
[00:43.26] There's nothing you can send me, my own true love
[00:49.69] There's nothing I'm wishing to be owning
[00:58.32] Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled
[01:06.79] From across that lonesome ocean
[01:14.28] Oh, but I just thought you might want something fine
[01:22.76] Maybe silver or of golden
[01:30.23] Either from the mountains of Madrid
[01:36.63] Or from the coast of Barcelona
[01:47.94] If I had the stars of the darkest night
[01:54.57] And the diamonds from the deepest ocean
[02:02.75] I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss
[02:10.20] That's all I wish to be owning
[02:19.88] Oh, I might be gone a long ol' time
[02:27.53] And it's only that I'm asking
[02:35.47] Is there something I can send you to remember me by?
[02:42.20] To make your time more easy passing?
[02:51.07] How can, how can you ask me again?
[02:58.48] Well it only brings me sorrow
[03:06.61] Oh, the same thing I would want today
[03:12.37] I would want again tomorrow
[03:34.60] Oh, I got a letter on a lonesome day
[03:41.75] It was from his ship a-sailing
[03:48.94] Saying, I don't know when I'll be coming back again
[03:56.35] It depends on how I'm feeling
[04:06.27] If you, my love, must think that away
[04:13.27] I'm sure your mind is a-roaming
[04:21.04] I'm sure your thoughts are not with me
[04:29.28] But with the country where you're going
[04:38.67] So take heed, take heed of the western wind
[04:46.39] Take heed of stormy weather
[04:53.13] And yes, there is something you can send back to me
[05:00.63] Spanish boots of Spanish leather
[05:05.68]
[00:17.81] I'm sailing away in the morning
[00:24.63] Is there something I can send you from across the sea?
[00:31.66] From the place where I'll be landing?
[00:43.26] There's nothing you can send me, my own true love
[00:49.69] There's nothing I'm wishing to be owning

[01:47.94] If I had the stars of the darkest night

[04:46.39] Take heed of stormy weather
[04:53.13] And yes, there is something you can send back to me
[05:00.63] Spanish boots of Spanish leather
[05:05.68]
