Lyrics:
Oh, I'm sailin' away, my own true love
I'm sailin' away in the morning
Is there something I can send you from across the sea
From the place that I'll be landing?
No, there's nothin' you can send me, my own true love
There's nothin' I'm wishin' to be ownin'
Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled
From across that lonesome ocean
Oh, but I just thought you might want something 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'm wishin' to be ownin'
But I might be gone a long old time
And it's only that I'm askin'
Is there something I can send you to remember me by?
To make your time more easy-passin'
Oh, how can, how can you ask me again?
It only brings me sorrow
The same thing I would want today
I would want again tomorrow
Oh, I got a letter on a lonesome day
It was from her ship a-sailin'
Saying I don't know when I'll be comin' back again
It depends on how I'm a-feelin'
If you, my love, must think that-a-way
I'm sure your mind is roamin'
I'm sure your thoughts are not with me
But with the country to where you're goin'
So take heed, take heed of the western winds
Take heed of the stormy weather
And yes, there's something you can send back to me
Spanish boots of Spanish leather

This song is the song that I ask people to listen to when they're struggling to understand my profound admiration for Bob. I'll let you know if it ever doesn't work.
How can a 22-year-old boy from Minnesota write a song like that in 1963? How can a lovesick poet genius write a song like that? How can anyone write a song like that?
yeah, I know. Beyond.
He says they just came out of him and somewhere along the road he lost the talent
I think you know the answer. One can’t possibly have that much knowledge of history and literature at 22 to pen songs like he did. I’m n fact it would take 5 life times to acquire that much knowledge, and that is today in the age of instant information. He’s said himself; he was but a conduit receiving and pulling words from the ether.
He made a deal with the devil
^ *Gobshite* ^
No, he didn’t. You’re talking nonsense. Honestly, you’re *F.I.T.H.* if you believe that.
this song is so beautiful it actually physically hurts
Brings me to tears every time I hear it.
Yes, that's it exactly.
But then so does love at times… that’s the beauty of it
Chills the whole time. The older you get the more this song hits harder an harder. Thanks for your music Bob Dylan
Dylan is in a league of his own . Nobody can sing his songs better than him . His voice is just ..wow .. no other voices can sing his words in the way he intended and the depth of emotion .
True i believe mostly lol
Had the same thoughts so many times. Some sick covers out there. But you are right about the depths and ideas of emotions. But!!!!
Check out some shit billy strings has done. Woah
Watchhouse too
@@wesweldon8350 Thanks ..I will 🙂
I heard this song for the first time the night before my girlfriend passed away from cancer. I was feeling sad and lonely in bed by myself and I sent it to her. It was really early the next morning when I got the phone call. I'll never know if she got a chance to listen. Life sure is cruel and unfair sometimes, but she smiled regardless. Thank you Bob Dylan for your contribution to mankind.
Truth be told, his music got me through life.
youl see here on the other side might be waiting for u they say love ones greet us there. stay strong brother
Can’t imagine what you’ve been through.may god bless you bro
I can’t understand the pain but all I can say is that I’m sure you will see her again and this song is a beautiful tribute
yeah life is hard but from all indications we'l all see each other on the other side
I lived in Spain for 5 years, came back to Michigan where I was born, fell in love, and I’m going back to Spain in a few months…
"Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night. And the diamonds from the deepest ocean. I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss. For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'." one of my favorite lines in any song I've ever heard.
Yeah. Hell yeah.
Same here
Mines too
So disappointing that this beautiful song only revolves around a mere romatic theme. It would've been better if it had a little more depth to it.
@@user-uj5pc7dy2j what 0 pussy does to a mf
Wow, they sure don't make true, epic, honest and beautiful music like this anymore...such a powerful, emotional and moving song!
Truly one of the GOATs of all time!
Peace, love and happiness to all who are struggling or hurting through these troubled times where things really are a changin'
May God Bless you all
🙏🦁💙🍀🙏♾️
The bittersweet pain of loving someone more than words, who cannot recieve it fully. Im crying real tears listening to this over and over.
The pain of unrequited love; we’ve all been there, knowing that the other person doesn’t feel it the same way as you do and is just waiting for the right opportunity to get out, with as little fuss as possible.
Often they are only staying around because they don’t intentionally want to hurt you. But it’s them delaying, giving you the hope that kills you.
@@oleggorky906THAT was deep. ~
@@RAYGERVATO Thanks! Glad you appreciated it. It’s all a right of passage, I guess. There’s physical growth. And then there’s emotional growth.
I think the women usually handle the latter one better than us men. It’s not a hard and fast rule, nor always the case but maybe it’s the fear of rejection and macho pride.
That’s why it always amazed me that Bob Dylan could write deep songs like this, Shelter From and Storm and Sara etc, after a break up.
The first time I ever broke up with someone I cared about in a deep way, I didn’t even want to leave the house for a couple of months. I handle better now (I think! 😉) … but you never forget that first romance.
@oleggorky906 yeah the women are wired differently. Not sure if you saw it here, but l posted about losing the gal
in high school l would've married. She
was forced to move to Brazil from her
father's new job. Our last good-bye, it
probly left me wounded longer in fact
than l'd realized with an abandonment
issue going forward.. She was my 1st
and only genuine love. I'm 60 now, &
been thinking of her again from this.
I never married. Music married me ;)
-Learned this Dylen gem last couple
of nights, and performing it tonight.
They are filming a Dylan movie out
in the street in Cape May! (It is how
I found this song!) The mystery OF
love's capacity, to heal and wound
is as old as the ages, and intrigues
me with its dualistic reach.. inside
our hearts. A cycle of sorts that is
-even in a perfect relationship that
lasts, -enevitably an ending painful
finality when one is taken home, &
the other must carry on, but alone.
Yes indeed love is a true paradox!
Amazing song! All the best to you.
~ ((O
@@RAYGERVATO Hey man, thanks for the reply! 👍
I’ve always felt that music is a spiritual experience; it has a capacity to heal the soul. Why do so many people remember a certain song from a certain year, when they were young and in love, or something that helped them overcome a break up or a death etc?
In the UK in the 80s, we used to have this feature on a programme broadcast by Simon Bates, called Our Song. He would tell a sad story and then play a song. It proved really popular. People who are old enough talk about it even now.
But it’s true; I have seen people in tears who have listened to a record from their youth, even at around 80. You know, those old songs like Cathy’s Clown, It’s Raining in My Heart and a whole host of others. The music can take you back to a time, not just where you listen but where you feel like you felt then … it all comes back!
Sorry, your last post brought this on. I know what you were feeling. I get that as well from time to time. Wishing you all the best! Take care my man, and thanks for posting! 👍
How beautiful is Bob's voice on this?
While I would never describe his voice as beautiful, per se, it is *perfect* for this song (and several others). Much like his mentor/inspiration, Woody Guthrie, in that regard.
I really think that Dylan’s voice is so great as his lyrics
I agree his voice is a thing of beauty, just like him. Inside and out
He is really a American I love Dylan
Beautiful
Lost love and regrets will bring any man to his knees.
and down and down and down but as Shakespeare has reminded us " it is better to have loved and lose than not to have loved at all " please forgive , something like that. crying and crying , crying and crying and crying and it just comes down, I am sorry I do not know it's river headwaters it's source , but of course I do, a youtube " please forgive " does not get it. it takes more ,it takes effort , don't forget , we are human beings, " we can not hide. such a sweet sweet sweet song , thank you Bob, blessings all, love all , big
So true.....
on your knees can be a blessing, love all, big
FACTS
Men carry more of a burden and pressure in life than women, this is true.
My dad used to play this to me before bed when I was young
Bob was 22 at the time but the song is timeless.
This song stays with me long after it's over
It has stayed with me ever since I first heard it.
This song has been stuck with me for 30 years. I still think about it all the time. So beautiful
This song stays with me forever. Bob has such heart. Bob has a beautiful soul.
Me too. Me too
It has stayed with me 60 years from my teens,still sounds fresh.....Kieran.
Makes me cry. Beautiful timeless music.
“All it is is a kind of when you can’t get what you want, you have to settle for less, kind of song” - Bob Dylan
Beautiful. deep and articulate at face value - and, at the same time, emblematic of broader dimensions of the human experience… like so many of his songs.
And then you realize that you didn't need anyone or anything in the first place. All you need is within you, your heart and your own love
If anyone else made this song it would be the objective peak of their career,one of the most beautiful and sad ballads of all time... and he had decades of some of the best music of all time ahead. It's honestly insane. If this was his only song ever recorded it'd be a classic and rank in the top 10 songs of all time routinely, but no, he was outdid only by himself!
So bloooooooody true..he is a spirit bob dylan.live long sir bob.respecttttttttt5
No bloody words to write. Immortal
He is possesed by a sad spirit. Great 👍
Every year while on our family vacation I steal a few minutes a day to stand in the ocean listening to this song and remember the times we floated in the same ocean as children. Not a care in the world. Talking about anything and everything. Never did I think you'd leave this world so soon. Never did I think I couldn't call you. Never did I think there would be no more Richard-Ricardo and Rachel. I miss you, my dude, my brother. If you could bring anything back to me from your travels... It would be YOU.
Hes not gone just waiting
Amazed. May the God of peace give you his greatest gift of comfort. I know your place.
If he is in your thoughts he is in your shattered heart. I travel the same lonely road without my kid brother Leo. Always Linko, gone too soon June 11th 2017.
He is just up around the bend of time waiting for you to catch up to the joy of eternal life light love
This is the sweetest thing I've ever read
The slow reveal is such a gut punch. She knows she's not coming back from the beginning.
He probably knew himself and yet didn't know. If you love something give it away, it's nothing to be owned so 'it's all i'm wishing to be owning' is in some way an unconscious foreshadowing.
What breaks my heart is he knows it too. He knows the gift is for her guilt, and if he accepts it he knows she's gone.
@@SapereAudio He wants something physical to remind him of her forever
@@NagoyaHouseHead He chooses boots to set tracks, to go a rambling on new journey. He is also letting go.
@@fredfred7222 He was getting ready to hit some hard traveling
One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. ❤
I always hate when this song ends. Sometimes I leave it on a loop and let it play like 20 times in a row lol.
You're a kindred spirit, I think, I'm the same way!
Have you heard Mandolin Orange cover this song? Please listen if you haven't.
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 thats all i’m wishing to be owning
Half Shakespeare & Half Mozart master wordsmith hauntingly telling a story of unrequited love. Truly amazing
Bob Dylan. 22 years old. There are certain things that should rightfully make one wonder.....how on earth?? It's even better that there is no possible answer to the question. That's what keeps life truly special.
This is why "god" has to be ...
smart boy. knows how to turn a phrase. a boy named Will in old England was good at it too.
My guess is he was writing about what he was going through with Suze Rotolo, and her leaving for Italy
He was asked in an interview where it came from..Bob said it came from the unseen spirit world...I think it was the Bradley interview.
I think the word is "genius".
The satisfaction derived from listening to this song over and again is hard to put into words.
but putting it into words is waht Bob is all about....(crying - I almost wrote that in PAST TENSE.)
This song got some serious magic in it.
5 years ago I was dating a beautiful girl going to college at the time. She decided to study abroad in Madrid and I was so worried the distance would break us apart and slowly it happened.
This ballard touches me deep. 😢
😢
Of course it happened, even if you went with her it would’ve happened!
@tomp189 I wouldn't say that. Sure, chances are it would have ended anyways, as most relationships do, but good ones that stick do exist and for some people that hope is the only thing keeping them going. You do more harm telling them it will never work rather than telling them to just try again.
@@Charles37400
I wasn't giving relationship advice as it was a comment about the past & the relationship was over! And what now I'll abandon all of my qualified workings in relationship counselling & advice as well as couples sex life counselling & advice? You don't tell them to stick with it in any way more or less than you do to tell them that it's not worth it, you see what you're working with, the pros & cons, advice for every couple & they do the work you certainly don't encourage them to stick with it or to break up. What next threaten them with the views of religion!
@tomp189 I was criticizing the idea that "even if he went with her it would have happened."
Which 1: you can't know for sure,
And 2: the way you phrased it made it seem as though you didn't beleive in the concept of functional long term relationships or you thought they were incredibly unlikely. My argument was just to tone it down and don't kill his hope before he can find someone new.
Now that I know that isn't your argument (because why would someone who does relationship counseling beleive that, not like I knew from the first comment) I don't have a problem but I still think you could have worded your first comment to be clearer.
And no, I'd never use religion to argue someone should stay with/leave someone. I'm agnostic and I think in the long term religion does more harm than good.
Hopefully that clears up everything. I no longer have any criticism but the lack of clarity in the first comment.
Dylan is, of course, known for his many lyrical masterpieces like Desolation Row, Visions of Johanna, etc. And rightfully so. However, to a lot of Dylan fans, this song, in all its intentionally simplistic beauty and sadness, will always mean the most. Such a universal feeling, presented in a way that only Dylan can.
Well said Resting Dickface... well said.
Resting dick
nice name
I was about to say how I felt about this masterpiece of unchanging love of a jilted love..I think you expressed it as I would....or rather.. much better... Years ago I wold sit and listen to the guitar fingerpicking.. till I came up with one very close by ear but precisely not as Dylan's...a slightly Travis style. Its the very same chords G .…G/c( very necessary to finger as a G but leaving index ready to hammer on & move quickly to a C) ...Em7..D7..Em...but a capo on 2nd fret..same chords and fingerpicking as in Girl from the North Country...picked the same ..but " North Country" is a bit faster. I think IMHO those two and " Its All Right Ma..." & Shelter from the Storm .. are to me his top work & universally understood they make him one of the most unique lyricists ever..Also many criticize his guitar work and that is because he composed musically in a way that no other has done ..as far as I can see..it was his way of expression and mainly interpretation.. he's was a folk/blues musician. So all the snooty music theory experts can find a shady spot to put their opinions. I say that from the heart of my bottom.
Do yourself a favour ..Have a listen to martin simpson's version on 'bootleg usa'.. really does a great job
I think so too. What you just said is very true.
Indeed.
What is also interesting is how he borrowed from The Token by John Donne.
this is an amazing recording, performance, and proof that Dylan is one of the best writers of all time
This track is pure genius. Emotional tour de force.
A thousand years from now someone will be lamenting a lost love.....and the lover with the broken heart will feel this song was written about him.
As long as humans are on the face of the earth this song will be relevant.
The same impact I had with another great song of his” Simple Twist of Faith “
His greatest love song bar none. The balladry, the poetics, the voice, sound as they're coming from 200 years ago. Robin Witting
Not his... but THE greatest
So good. So sad. I can barely listen to it. But I do. Again and again.
Listen to this.. the man can SING, with tenderness and meaning !
Rips my heart into pieces every-time I hear this song, bitter sweet & beautiful.
In 79 to 83 I was in college in Massachusetts and after every breakup i would returned to this beauty and lift the stylus over and over to repeat this masterpiece. Back then it took effort to enter melancholia. Needed a stereo, speakers, the album, and a good needle.
Wearing out grooves on the record was common then.
Dylan was always a good companion
I’m glad to see I have friends here.
I live in a small town with a college. A girl from Spain with a PhD working at the college for research and I met and started seeing eachother. She left today and asked me if I wanted her to send me anything. I think it's a cultural thing. Anyway I've had this song on repeat and I can't stop crying
That's beautiful man, I hope things work out between you two
Did you ask for boots??
What are you waiting for? Go get her.
Dont cry for a shit hole girl
Man up, it’s the best and only move if you ever want her back.
A wonderful song ! I particularly like the very delicate way Bob mentions his lover’s lack of response when not thinking of him, not being eager to come back, and then giving her good and generous advice to take care ...!
Lost my mom two months ago to cancer. She fought for almost eight years. She was the best mother anyone could've asked for, she would've given the clothes off her back to anyone who needed help. She was a bright light in this seemingly dark earth. I love you, mom. Thanks for always being my shoulder to cry on and the family's rock. Rest easy. I love you
Yes thank you, my wife never owned any clothes of her own she gave to the neady and drew plans for nothing for homeless and never sent her this song, but she left just her love ❤
amen
I had a Mom like that. Sorry for your pain. Lost her 2003. Lost my 35 year old daughter in 2021. Not much to say.

Just hearing this, walking with Harry 10 :30 pm. The beauty of this is what I've talking about... That guitar is steady, delicate, and moving its volume and motion just like the waves on the sea he's singing about. And the softness of his voice reflects the story. After hearing this many many times ~ I see now why I've declared him, in my mind, the Man of Music ~ it's about beautiful sound, sound, sound. ~ Jane🎧🎵🎼
when i'm sick and tired of this world.....this songs quiet simple way, comforts me a bit.
often copied but never topped, what a magnificent and timeless work of vocal art
Got to be one of the finest love songs ever
The name Dylan simply means Genius . Thank you Mr. Zimmerman for touching my soul for 50 years of my life . Rave on Bob .

The most beautiful song ever 😢 my first love was a fisherman x love you Peter the fisherman ❤
The most incredible song from a most incredible album. It's still hard to believe a 22 year old could have written these songs.
Why? Simple lyrics...10 year old could’ve written it
That's called an old soul ;)

Behind every beautiful thing.....there's been some kinda pain.
One of the most beautiful songs ever. Thank you Bob for sharing aal these gems!
This was recorded when he was 22...when I was in college drinking and partying. I wish I could have 1/10 the talent Dylan had at that age.
I am from Madrid and I lost my first love when I moved to Barcelona, and every time he mentions both cities in this song, my heart aches so much in regret and nostalgia
I met someone I truly loved in Madrid and everything fell apart when she moved to Barcelona, the line that mentions both cities and then the one that follows it makes my heart feel like it’s going to burst. Just a stunning song, so much pain and sorrow within it but also an acceptance
B strong. Life goes on.b positive..the sun shines always
Bob paints a great picture with this one.
One of his very many masterpieces.
My favorite song to sing, play, and listen to. Thank you Mr. Dylan. Many nights I've felt too good and too bad with this in my ear.
This is my fav Dylan album. Everything about it is amazing. It is really dark, gloomy and eerie and it's all about the atmosphere. There is something about that whole production approach, that reverb, that analog saturation on his voice, the fact that the voice is much louder than the guitar, the way he sings, the way he picks and strums, even the way he goddamn breathes! Such a masterpiece and this song... nah, I will stop there and listen to it one more time :) I just cannot put it into words. Enjoy there people and be good to yourselves!
mamaaaador
This was the album I realised that Bob's voice & lyrics were part of my soul.
Cheers. No body ever can replace bob Dylan Zimmerman. The king of soul ful music
Another Side is my fav
Right artist right time, great album
This song is like a sweet kiss !! Love LOVE LOVE Bob Dylan ❤❤❤❤❤
Well, if you're not coming back, send me some boots. LOL.
not just any boots tho... It's that Spanish Leather lol
Timeless and brillant! 👍🏻 One of so many great Bob-Dylan-Songs!
Oh, I'm sailin' away, my own true love
I'm sailin' away in the morning
Is there something I can send you from across the sea
From the place that I'll be landing?
No, there's nothin' you can send me, my own true love
There's nothin' I'm wishin' to be ownin'
Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled
From across that lonesome ocean
Oh, but I just thought you might want something 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'm wishin' to be ownin'
But I might be gone a long old time
And it's only that I'm askin'
Is there something I can send you to remember me by?
To make your time more easy-passin'
Oh, how can, how can you ask me again?
It only brings me sorrow
The same thing I would want today
I would want again tomorrow
Oh, I got a letter on a lonesome day
It was from her ship a-sailin'
Saying I don't know when I'll be comin' back again
It depends on how I'm a-feelin'
If you, my love, must think that-a-way
I'm sure your mind is roamin'
I'm sure your thoughts are not with me
But with the country to where you're goin'
So take heed, take heed of the western winds
Take heed of the stormy weather
And yes, there's something you can send back to me
Spanish boots of Spanish leather
It's fucking poetry...
So, who is sailing away, the girl or the boy? First I thought the boy, but at the end Bob sings "her ship", and thet confused me...
Classic. "Fine, get me the boots then."
Thank you for sharing lyrics.
God bless you Mr Zimmerman Dylan
I can’t stop thinking of her… I feel he wrote this song for me. It’s like he has felt the same breaking heart. Te amo.
Thank you Bob
If by any crazy chance you read this I want to say thank you for the music. This amazing song was released 35 years before I was born and I discovered it this year when I turned the confusing age of 21. Something about this song being 55 years old and Bob Dylan getting older and one day passing away deeply upsets me but also makes me feel lucky that I was born after Bob not before so I got to witness the sound and feel and experience. Its hard to digest that this song was written in 1963 and listened to by millions of people helping them through pain for 55 years. What’s insane is that while dylan will die this song never will it will keep healing people even when he’s gone. I can see “time they are changing” being a zombie apocalypse anthem or end of the world anthem even 500 years from now. For 4 minutes 39 seconds to have this impact is heart warming. Thats why it’s such a gift a true gift from him to others because of how temporary his life and every life is like shooting stars rather than permanent stars in the sky. He could have lived a different live and never made poetry in music but he lived it doing what he loves while inspiring other. Thank you Bob for this song and this music. It’s still got the charm and magic 55 years later. This song as well as times they are changing makes me feel like the lost part of my soul found belonging and felt seen like the yearning and wondering stops for a bit. Thanks man 💕 this song could play during the darkest time and make me feel like everything will make sense eventually. Have a blessed day everyone and enjoy your life all of it, the bad and the good while it lasts. We will all die one day that’s one thing we are together in with no way out. This song captures it perfectly. 2:04 “I might be gone in a long old time and it’s only there I’m asking, here’s something I could send you to remember me by to make time more easy passing” You will always be remembered thank you for this amazing music 💕
One day when my grandma was pregnant with my mom she was was watering the garden late at night when she heard some music. She walked through the cornfield and saw a young man singing and playing guitar with his girlfriend, she watched for a moment then went back home. She said she knew it was Bob Dylan from the moment she saw him.
wow!
Woah, can you imagine how awesome that would be!?
Where that cornfield is?
@@ederle-laradioperduta4546 Is this heaven? No, its Iowa
@@kmslegal7808 Yeah, but in late '50s
The raw emotions of these lyrics are sung with the feelings that are being remembered!
Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled
From across that lonesome ocean.
I always tear up thinking of my Dad, who was one of my soulmates in this life (not romantically, obviously). We had such a deep connection and I still can't believe he's not here anymore. Thanks, Bob for putting into words what no other can!
this was dylans formative and innocent phase, he knew not what was coming, but in it you hear how his voice speaks volumes of emotion, his brilliant writing and his simple but deep guitar work, it sounds so young but so old, its called briilliant art....
How can someone write such a creative, magical, fascinating song?
It's magical
Thanks for your comment. Its even more than that. Its his voice, his subtley and stress at just the right time and point. If i sang the exact same words you'd think, what a joker! "its a happening...!" Its the words, the voice, the delivery, the timing, the recording all happening, all at the same time. Can you analyze a butterfly? just enjoy it going from flower to flower....did you know the music is from an english song but the words were changed? but figured...."i could use that music!"
but bob figured...."i could use that music!"
Just got back from Valencia to visit my girlfriend. Listened to this song whole way home. First time seeing her in nearly a year... It hit perfect
Back in 1966. I was 19 this was my first Album. And the time was changing.
Jeah, is a long Time. I am a young Girl 14 year old. Mi Boyfriend playing at Acoustic Guitar and Singing Bob Dylan for my.
Best Wishes from Suisse Country 🙋♀️🇨🇭
One of my personal favourites
This one kills me…just beautiful
The individual and duologued romantic Mr. Dylan has crafted here remains one of the great creations of our time. Pain across continents and anchored by losses both parties -though articulated by one person-is clear and for Dylan...also fair by his terms...is gentle, sad, final and devastating in its clear understanding that he and Suze Rotolo were on the downside. I consider this a brilliantly crafted and very sad love letter. A gift to us all and a track which never ages.
Suze Rotolo writes how her mother and stepfather sent her to study in Italy. They hoped to get her away from Dylan who they didn’t like. The relationship lingered on painfully after she returned.
This is so heartbreaking and evocative of a love lost, I am in awe of the genius that can express this in such a simple and meaningful way.
Oh yes oh yes oh yes. So sad so true
@@robertmarion9 She got me to
I was in Jersey channel Island when this LP was played to me by a mate, it changed my whole outlook on life, for the better, today is as fresh as it were yesterday, thanks Bob
The uniqueness that surrounds this album is embraced by the track “ Boots of Spanish Leather “. Thank you Bob Dylan.
this is one of my favourite Dylan songs
If there was only Dylan to listen to. That would do for me
We were like 17 but I will never forget you ever ❤ xx
Me too. She was my 1st and probly only true love. Gone to Brazil from
her father's new job. Crushed me.
Why doesnt this have millions of views ? This is a brilliant timeless master piece. It is many many times better than the "pop" music of today !!!
Then it will become pop.
@@vanillaolaf9398 I very much doubt youve got any news for me on the topic of music. Go ahead, shoot your shot.
@@NagoyaHouseHead it’s got a million views
because everyone of a certain age with taste already has the album or knows the song already.
IT has check the mandolin orange version 13 million views
Love this one ❤️
And its sister song "Girl From the North County". I flip flop on which one I prefer, they're equally beautiful.
Girl from the north country is from the Freewheelin' album but they sound very very similar.
@@daniyalnaqvi2569 same chord progression and picking pattern (pretty sure).
This tune has capo on the 1st and North Country has capo on the 3rst, at least on the studio albums. They are similar chords. This is a better tune, I think. Who knows.
Loved the term sister song
This one shades it for me ❤
I have always worn boots of good quality leather from the time I was 12 years old, I have never worn flat shoes or trainers, my feet were not built to ware that kind of lesser quality footwear, I listened to and took advice from the great Bob Dylan and I have worn boots of Spanish Leather. This world would be a far better place for all people if we took notice of the fair warnings and advice that Bob gives.
"I got a letter on a lonesome day" what a line
grorob52 As the Mexicans say, vamonos, y andale.
Which means simply, I hear and agree, and let us move forward. All with a compatriot attitude. And because we are watching and listening, means we are simpatico. Best wishes, and you are absolutely right. It is a hell of a line!
My boyfriend in the Navy. So many years ago. I got a letter on a lonesome day. I remember it well.
best lines are the most simple ones
A real kick in the balls
This song makes me feel a type of way
Same. That's 60's Dylan for ya 😂😂😂
No one has made me feel a type of way more than this man that I discovered at the age of 13 in 1977. Thank you Mr. Dylan
Great song by the greatest poet of our generations.
Or perhaps of all generations.
AND tunesmith !
The best songwriter and all round singer of this century. Thank you Bob Dylan, your words are pure magic.
Met bob dylan one time on july17,1991. The day of his concert in cleveland,ohio is was walking by himself down by lake erir by his bus. I was walking and looked up and saw him walking toward me alone. I stoped put out my hand and he came up to me and greeded me. He was very nice to me. Has a very quiet air about himself.
Greatest of love songs ever written, the evocation of emotions it brings out of me many times is accompanied with tears
The uniqueness that surrounds this album is embraced by the track “ Boots of Spanish “. Thank you Bob Dylan.
In my opinion Bob Dylan writes better, and I love his singing, but: Joan Baez sings better and does the writing some justice.
Timeless beauty
The emotion in the last line... Gets me always.🇦🇺
A beautiful timeless song
Every time you choose a favourite Dylan song , there is always another one you like.
I began to be a fan in 1964, Of all the songs he has written I do not think he has ever written a bad one. Bob has written Thousands of songs. Surely there cannot be another singer/songwriter that hs written so many songs??
Very true how a lost love and regrets brings many of us to our knees. I often think of that one true love lost in time but ever present in my heart and emotions.
that has so many layers ...love..lost...heartache..regret...betrayal...wow. wow.
I’ve played and sung this song countless times since I first heard it in 1964, when I taught myself to play the guitar. It still touches me, it’s one of the most poignant songs I’ve ever heard.
“So take heed, take heed of the western wind, take heed of stormy weather, and yes, there’s something you can send back to me, Spanish boots of Spanish leather. “💔 😢
Dylan is an incredible vocalist. No one is able to sing his songs like he does. A perfect harmony.
Im from a land of great great poets, but I havent found anything more beautiful a poetry as this one. By the name of Allah, live long Bob Dylan because I cant imagine the pain of that morning, I would wake up and learn that you are no more.
I am thinking of my brother from the deepest of this ocean. I never think of the day he sailed away. He lives somewhere and thinks of me just this way. 💚
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. I’m about to buy a pair of boots of Spanish leather.
I have a pair packed away in Colorado. I miss them😰
2 years ago you may have been able to..Today everything skyrocketed in price so many things are very expensive..Gas/food/cloths/ everything.And it will continue to go way up..Thanks Joe Biden for the 4.50 cent a gallon gas price..Under Trump it was 1.83 per gallon.
I have a pair, worn sparingly!x
Bless the boots mam.luv u bob.
