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 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 oh
Till I find my Jackie oh
Till I find my Jackie oh
Jackie oh, Jackie oh
