Goodbye Jimmy Goodbye
Kathy Linden Lyrics

Goodbye, Jimmy, goodbye
She is saying goodbye to Jimmy

Goodbye, Jimmy, goodbye
She repeats that she is saying goodbye to Jimmy

I'll see you again but I don't know when
She is unsure of when she will see Jimmy again

Goodbye, Jimmy, goodbye
Again, she says goodbye to Jimmy

Wind is a blowing, rain starts to fall
She describes the weather

Train is a tooting its long, lonesome call
She describes the sound of a train whistle

Wheels are clicking their way down the track
She describes the sound of train wheels moving

Counting the days till he's coming back
She is eagerly waiting for Jimmy's return and counting the days

When he has traveled the land and the sea
She explains that Jimmy is traveling across land and sea

He'll stop his roaming and come home to me
She believes that Jimmy will eventually stop traveling and come back to her

Give me a kiss for each tear and each sigh
She wants Jimmy to comfort her and kiss her for every sad moment she has had

'Til then my Jimmy, my Jimmy, goodbye
She says goodbye to Jimmy again, but with affection

Goodbye, Jimmy, goodbye
She repeats her goodbye to Jimmy
