Oh, if I had the stars from the darkest night
Or from the coast of Barcelona
The same thing I would want today
Saying, I don't know when I'll be comin' back again
If you, my love, must think that-a-way
That I might be gone a long [Incomprehensible] time
Take heed of the stormy weather
Oh, but I just thought you might want something fine
Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled
Oh, how can, how can you ask me again?
And the diamonds from the deepest ocean
No, there's nothin' you can send me, my own true love
Is there something that I can send you to remember me by
From across that lonesome ocean
It only brings me sorrow
I'm sure you thoughts are not with me
Made of silver or of golden
To make your time more easy passin'
For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'
From the place that I'll be landing?
It depends on how I'm a-feelin'
I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss
And yes, there's something you can send back to me
Is there something I can send you from across the sea
I'm sure your mind is roamin'
I would want again tomorrow
But with the country to where you're goin'
There's nothin' I'm wishin' to be ownin'
So take heed, take heed of the western winds
And it's only that I'm askin'
It was from her ship a-sailin'
Either from the mountains of Madrid
Oh, I got a letter on a lonesome day
