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
(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 ooo-oo-ooh.
