Jackie was one of the crowd |
|
Who hung out at the Cross Keys Hotel |
|
She was a real bright kid, |
|
Thought I knew her pretty well |
|
Beach parties at night |
|
We ran down town in the day |
|
Till a boy in black leather |
|
Came and took Jackie away |
|
We were all in The Keys one night |
|
Sitting, laughing and joking |
|
Billy'd got himself a new job |
|
Ros had given up smoking |
|
I was crazy for Jackie |
|
I was almost ready to say |
|
When a boy in black leather |
|
Came and took Jackie away |
|
He was standing at the bar |
|
When I went up for a drink |
|
Then he and she just started talking |
|
I didn't know what to think |
|
Billy pulled me into an argument |
|
About the big bad world today |
|
I looked up and a boy in black leather |
|
Was taking Jackie away |
|
After that things began to get dull |
|
I took up with Billy's sister Molly |
|
But that got really kicked on the head |
|
When she upped and went to college |
|
I got to thinking about Jackie |
|
And as Autumn moved into grey |
|
I thought about a boy in black leather |
|
Who came and took Jackie away |
|
Then this month I saw her |
|
The girl I knew had all but gone |
|
Tight jeans, mohair sweater |
|
Her hair was chopped off peroxide blonde |
|
I crossed the road towards her |
|
Thinking of something to say |
|
When a boy in black leather walked over |
|
And together they hurried away |
