Jackie left home on a cold dark night Telling me he'd be home Served the seas for a hundred years And left me all alone Now I've been dead for twenty years I've been washing the sand with my ghostly tears Searching the shores for my Jackie oh I remember the day that a young man came He said your Jackie's gone he's got lost in the rain I ran to the beach and laid me down You're all wrong, I said as they stared to the sand That man knows the sea like the back of his hand He'll be back sometime, laughing at you I've been waiting all this time for my man to come Take his hand in mine And lead me away to unseen shores I've been washing the sand with my ghostly tears Searching the shores these long years And I'll walk the seas forevermore Till I find my Jackie, oh my Jackie, oh my Jackie,oh my Jackie, oh my Jackie,oh I've roamed, and I wandered restless nights Aimless gunshots blindfired blindfired blindfired my Jackie, oh my Jackie,oh my Jackie, oh my Jackie,oh my Jackie, oh my Jackie, oh my Jackie, oh,oh oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh...... ...... my Jackie, oh my Jackie oh
