[Chorus:] Goodbye, Jimmy, goodbye Goodbye, Jimmy, goodbye I'll see you again but I don't know when Goodbye, Jimmy, goodbye Wind is a blowing, rain starts to fall Train is a tooting its long, lonesome call Wheels are clicking their way down the track Counting the days till he's coming back When he has traveled the land and the sea He'll stop his wandering and come home to me Give me a kiss for each tear and each sigh Till then my Jimmy, my Jimmy, goodbye
