Just caught up with the thread. Thanks Sylvia. Yes, as the one who gave Jackie the words to sing I am probably the best source.

Tommy's gone what shall I do
My Tommy's gone away
O Tommy's gone away what shall I do
My Tommy's Gone Away

Tommy's gone to Liverpool
To Liverpool, that noted school

Baltimore
Tho dance upon that sandy floor

Mobile Bay
Screwing cotton all the day

Singapore
Tommy's gone for evermore

Boney's Airs [Buenos Ares, of course]
Where the girls have long black hair

for evermore
O Tommy's gone for evermore

AND AS ONE SCHOOL PUPIL SAID WHEN WE GAVE THEM THE OPORTUNIY TO MAKE AND TAKE POSSESION OF THEIR OWN VERSES: -

Johnny's gone to Pizza Hut
He went because McDonald's was shut

ENJOY!
