Jackie left on a cold, dark night

telling me he'd be home,

he sailed the sea for a hundred years and l

eft

me all alone.

Now i've been dead for twenty years i've been w

ashing

the sand with my ghostly tears

Searching the shores for my jackie o

ooh.

And I re

member

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 d

own

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 s

earching

the shores these long years

and I

walked

the sea foreverm

ore

till I f

ind

my jackie o

ooh,

jackie oo

oh,

jackie oo

oh,

jackie oo

o-oo-

ooh.
