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.
