Down on the shore of Leamington
there was a boy swimming off the dock.

Jackie where are you now?
I'll say good-bye somehow.
You were just barely ten years old
the day you drowned.

He sat beside me every day.
We used to laugh and work
and play all day.
One morning we were told
that Jackie went away.

Jackie wasn't anymore.
Empty desk upon the floor.
Tears shed for little
Jackie DeWinter's dead.

When I walk the dock
at Leamington,
I pass the place where
Jackie D. went down.
Back in time, a chill runs up
the spine of Jackie Brown.

Jackie where are you now?
I'll say good-bye somehow.
You were just barely ten years old
the day you drowned.
