[6m] Oh I'm sailin' away my [5] own true [1] love
Oh I'm [6m] sailin' [5] away in the [1] mornin'
Is there [6m] somethin' I can send you from [5] across the [1] sea
From the [6m] place where [5] I'll be [1] landin'

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 somethin' fine
Made of silver or of golden
Either from the mountains of Madrid
Or from the coast of Barcelona

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 wish to be ownin'

Oh but I might be gone a long long time
And it's only that I am asking
Can I send you something to remember me by
To make your time more easy passin'

Oh how can how can you ask me again
For it only brings me sorrow
The same thing I want from you today
I would want again tomorrow

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 all depends on how I'm feelin'

Well if you my love must think that-a-way
I'm sure your mind is a-roamin'
I'm sure your thoughts are not with me
But the country where you are goin'

So take heed take heed of the western winds
Take heed of the stormy weather
And yes there is somethin' you can send back to me
Spanish boots of Spanish leather
