Jackie left on a cold, dark night telling me he'd be home,
he sailed the sea 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 oooh.
And I remember the day that the young man came said your jackie's gone
He's lost in the rain and i ran to the beach laid me down
You're all wrong, i said as they stared to the sand, that man knows the seas
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 salty tears searching the shores these long y ears
and I walked the sea forevermore
till I find my jackie oooh,
jackie oooh,
jackie oooh,
jackie ooo-oo-ooh.
