Lyrics Jacket Of Blue - Alma Cogan

Jacket Of Blue

She wore a little jacket of blue,
She kept that little jacket of blue,
And all the sailors knew
Just why she wore his jacket of blue.
She asked the leaves that fell from the tree,
She asked the breeze that came from the sea,
«Where can my lover be?
Oh won’t you send him homeward to me?»
She climbed aboard each whaler
And she would say to every sailor,
«Tell me true,
Where is my boy in blue?
Help me too,
Tell me, what can I do?».
The truth they never told her,
But each one tried his best to console her,
Day by day,
Until she wasted away,
Day by day,
'Til she wasted away.
She wore a little jacket of blue,
She kept that little jacket of blue,
And all the sailors knew
Just why she wore his jacket of blue.
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh -ooh!
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh -ooh!
