Jackie left on a cold, dark night

Telling me he'd be home

Sailed the seas 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-oh

And I remember the day that the young man came

Said, your Jackie's gone, he is lost in the rain

And I ran to the beach

And laid me down

You're all wrong, I said

And they stared to the sand

That man knows the 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 unsailed shores

I've been washing the sand with my salty tears

Searching the shore these long years

And I'll walk the sea forever more

'til I find my Jackie-oh

Jackie-oh

Jackie-oh

Jackie-oh
