[00:00.00]Boots of Spanish Leather - Nanci Griffith
[00:11.33]Oh I'm sailing away
[00:12.79]
[00:13.67]My own true love
[00:15.32]
[00:19.69]I'm sailing away in the morning
[00:22.93]
[00:26.62]Is there something I can send you from across the sea
[00:31.00]
[00:35.04]From the place where I'll be landing
[00:38.60]
[00:43.77]There's nothing you can send me
[00:45.91]My own true love
[00:47.49]
[00:51.87]There's nothing I'm wishing to be owning
[00:55.37]
[00:59.27]Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled
[01:03.41]
[01:07.43]From across that lonesome ocean
[01:10.57]
[01:15.83]Oh but I just thought you might want something fine
[01:20.34]
[01:24.26]Maybe silver or of golden
[01:27.65]
[01:32.03]Either from the mountains of Madrid
[01:35.75]
[01:39.48]Or from the coast of Barcelona
[01:43.18]
[01:48.35]If I had the stars of the darkest night
[01:52.66]
[01:56.47]And the diamonds from the deepest ocean
[02:00.04]
[02:04.22]I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss
[02:08.07]
[02:12.09]That's all I wish to be owning
[02:15.74]
[02:20.36]Oh I might be gone a long ol' time
[02:24.64]
[02:28.66]And it's only that I'm asking
[02:32.31]
[02:35.78]Is there something I can send you to remember me by
[02:40.40]
[02:43.93]To make your time more easy passing
[02:47.38]
[02:52.67]How can how can you ask me again
[02:56.81]
[03:00.75]Well it only brings me sorrow
[03:04.56]
[03:07.78]Oh the same thing I would want today
[03:12.12]
[03:16.16]I would want again tomorrow
[03:19.46]
[03:35.15]Oh I got a letter on a lonesome day
[03:38.97]
[03:43.24]It was from his ship a-sailing
[03:46.52]
[03:50.15]Saying I don't know when I'll be coming back again
[03:54.34]
[03:58.62]It depends on how I'm feeling
[04:01.85]
[04:07.15]If you my love must think that away
[04:10.90]
[04:15.36]I'm sure your mind is a-roaming
[04:18.78]
[04:22.24]I'm sure your thoughts are not with me
[04:26.35]
[04:30.29]But with the country where you're going
[04:33.85]
[04:39.03]So take heed take heed of the western wind
[04:43.20]
[04:47.06]Take heed of stormy weather
[04:50.41]
[04:54.14]And yes there is something you can send back to me
[04:58.32]
