Jackie left on a cold dark night
Telling me he'd be home
Sailed 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
Said Your Jackie's gone he got lost in the rain
And I ran to the beach and laid me down
Youre all wrong'' I said, and they stared at the sun
''That man know that sea like the back of his hand,
He'll be back sometimes 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 shores these long years
And I'll walk the sea 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
