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
