CHORUS
Goodbye, Jimmy, goodbye
Goodbye, Jimmy, goodbye
I’ll see you again but I don’t know when
Goodbye, Jimmy, goodbye
Wind is a-blowin', rain starts to fall
Train is a-tootin' its long, lonesome call
Wheels are clickin' their way down the track
Countin' the days till he’s comin' back
CHORUS
When he has traveled the land and the sea
He’ll stop his wand’rin' and come home to me
Give me a kiss for each tear and each sigh
Till then my Jimmy, my Jimmy, goodbye
CHORUS
Goodbye Jimmy goodbye
Havent heard this since I was 8 years old (fifty years ago) can still see my Mum putting the washing through the mangle by hand to dry it, there was seven of us for her to look after, she,s still going strong 94 this year. Bless her.
MY all time favourite singer, I loved her voice from the first time I heard it and still play her music often I have almost all she did, Met her a couple of times, such a Lovely lady XXX RIP Ruby .
It was the record that was playing on the radio at the exact time of the morning that I left home for the first time to join the Army. I was just 17 years old.
It turned out to be a bitter-sweet memory really, but that's another story.
