Chorus:

Hooky hi, Hooky Jo, I need you so

Hooky bye, Hooky go, where I don't know

Looky high, looky low, where can you be

Hooky hi, Hooky Jo, I need your company



And my sergeant said, the war is over son

It doesn't really matter that the North has won

So I packed my bags and I gave back my gun

I turned and headed home, with the fighting done



chorus



Hooky Jo and me, we planned to make a start (hey Hooky Jo)

But the war it came between us, and we fell apart (the war is over)

Now this old grey coat is getting mighty thin (it's turning blue)

But I'll keep on looking for her, till we meet again



chorus repeats 2x
