Jackie left on a cold, dark night

Telling me he'd be home

Sailed the seas for a hundred years

Leaving me all alone

And 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 the young man came

He said, "your Jackie's gone

He got lost in the rain"

And I ran to the beach

And laid me down

"You're all wrong", I said

And they stared at the sand

"That man knows that sea

Like the back of his hand

He'll be back some time

Laughing at you"

And 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 salty tears

Searching the shore

All these long years

And I'll walk the seas forever more

Till I find my Jackie oh

Till I find my Jackie oh

Till I find my Jackie oh

Jackie oh

Jackie oh

Jackie oh
