29 Aug 97 - 02:20 AM (#11465) Subject: Lyr Add: JACKIE (from Sinead O'Connor) From: Rosemary I want to do a new arrangement of a song (Jackie) I found on a Sinead O'Connor album. I haven't been able to determine if it is a song she wrote or her own arrangement from a traditional source. The lyrics follow, and BTW it meets many of the criteria for a folk song listed in the FSD thread. Jackie left on a cold dark night Telling me he'd be home. Sailed the seas for a hundred years Leaving me all alone. And I've been dead for twenty years I've been washing the sand with my ghostly tears Searching the shores for my Jackie-O I remember the day When the young men came They said, "Your Jackie's gone He got lost in the rain." And I ran until It lay me down. "You're all wrong," I said, And they stared at the sand. "That man knows that sea Like the back of his hand. He'll be back sometime, I feel he will. And I've been waiting all this time For my man to come And take his hand in mine And lead me away to ? one safe shore. I've been washing the sand with my salty tears Searching the shore these long years And I walk the sea forevermore. Til I find my Jackie-O. |
