| 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
|
| Ross 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 gray
|
| 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 blond
|
| I crossed the road towards her
|
| Thinking of something to say
|
| When a boy in black leather walked over
|
| And together they hurried away |
