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.
I laid me down.

You're all wrong, I said.
As they stared to the sand,
That man knows the sea
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 years
And I walked the sea forevermore
Till I find my…
Jackie oooh,

Jackie oooh!
Jackie oooh!
Jackie oo-oo-ooh…
