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
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 salted tears
Searching the shore 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
