| Lyrics | Oh Jack, When Are You Coming Back? Verse: A sailor boy was just about to sail away, Sail away, Down the bay, And from the crowd that stood upon the pier, A cheer, A tear, and then “good bye!” Refrain: Oh, Jack, when are you coming back? You left broken hearts And broken heads behind you, For you love just like you fight you swab, You’re always on the job. Wherever there’s both sure that’s the place to find you. Verse: When Jack’s ashore each lassie’s heart is filled with joy, Filled with joy, Ship ahoy, And tho’ his heart is not in ev’ry kiss, there’s bliss, They miss their sailor boy. Refrain |
