| >From the | place where | I'll be | landing |
| There's nothing you can send me, my own true love |
| There's nothing I'm wishing to be owning |
| Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled |
| >From across that lonesome ocean |
| Oh, but I just thought you might want something fine |
| Maybe silver or of golden |
| Either from the mountains of Madrid |
| Or from the coast of Barcelona |
| 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 |
| That's all I wish to be owning |
| Oh, I might be gone a long ol' time |
| And it's only that I'm asking |
| Is there something I can send you to remember me by |
| To make your time more easy passing |
| How can, how can you ask me again |
| Well it only brings me sorrow |
| Oh, the same thing I would want today |
| I would want again tomorrow |
| instrumental, same cbords as intro |
| Oh, I got a letter on a lonesome day |
| It was from his ship a-sailing |
| Saying, I don't know when I'll be coming back again |
| It depends on how I'm feeling |
| If you, my love, must think thataway |
| I'm sure your mind is a-roaming |
| I'm sure your thoughts are not with me |
| But with the country where you're going |
| So take heed, take heed of the western wind |
| Take heed of stormy weather |
| And yes, there is something you can send back to me |
