[00:01.86]
[00:11.03] Oh, I'm sailing away, my own true love
[00:19.32] I'm sailing away in the morning
[00:26.31] Is there something I can send you from across the sea?
[00:34.60] From the place where I'll be landing?
[00:43.47] There's nothing you can send me, my own true love
[00:51.61] There's nothing I'm wishing to be owning
[00:59.12] Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled
[01:07.23] From across that lonesome ocean
[01:15.94] Oh, but I just thought you might want something fine
[01:24.48] Maybe silver or of golden
[01:31.76] Either from the mountains of Madrid
[01:39.32] Or from the coast of Barcelona
[01:48.11] If I had the stars of the darkest night
[01:56.27] And the diamonds from the deepest ocean
[02:03.85] I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss
[02:11.80] That's all I wish to be owning
[02:20.32] Oh, I might be gone a long ol' time
[02:28.93] And it's only that I'm asking
[02:35.74] Is there something I can send you to remember me by?
[02:43.59] To make your time more easy passing?
[02:52.60] How can, how can you ask me again?
[03:00.57] Well it only brings me sorrow
[03:07.47] Oh, the same thing I would want today
[03:15.69] I would want again tomorrow
[03:34.86] Oh, I got a letter on a lonesome day
[03:42.85] It was from his ship a-sailing
[03:49.98] Saying, I don't know when I'll be coming back again
[03:58.27] It depends on how I'm feeling
[04:06.87] If you, my love, must think that away
[04:15.03] I'm sure your mind is a-roaming
[04:22.50] I'm sure your thoughts are not with me
[04:32.10] But with the country where you're going
[04:39.75] So take heed, take heed of the western wind
[04:46.82] Take heed of stormy weather
[04:53.93] And yes, there is something you can send back to me
