Goodbye, Jimmy, goodbye
Goodbye, Jimmy, goodbye
I'll see you again but I don't know when
Goodbye, Jimmy, goodbye

Wind is a blowing, rain starts to fall
Train is a tooting its long, lonesome call
Wheels are clicking their way down the track
Counting the days till he's coming back

Goodbye, Jimmy, goodbye
Goodbye, Jimmy, goodbye
I'll see you again but I don't know when
Goodbye, Jimmy, goodbye

When he has traveled the land and the sea
He'll stop his roaming and come home to me
Give me a kiss for each tear and each sigh
'Til then my Jimmy, my Jimmy, goodbye

Goodbye, Jimmy, goodbye
Goodbye, Jimmy, goodbye
I'll see you again but I don't know when
Goodbye, Jimmy, goodbye
Goodbye, Jimmy, goodbye
