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, ohhhh,

I remember the day the young man came,
He said, ”Your Jackie’s gone
We 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
For these long years
And I’ll walk the seas forever more

Till I find my Jackie ohhhhhh
Till I find my Jackie ohhhhhh
Till I find my Jackie ohhhhhh
Jackie ohhhhhh
Jackie ohhhhhh
Jackie ohhhhhh
