Jackson

Jimmy Dean · Country Boy and Country Girl (w. Dottie West) [RCA [1970]

(Billy Ed Wheeler - Gaby Rogers)



We got married in a fever hotter than a pepper sprout

We've been talking 'bout Jackson ever since the fire went out

I'm goin' to Jackson, I'm gonna mess around

Headed to Jackson, look out Jackson town.



Well, you go on down to Jackson, go ahead and wreck your health

Play your hand like a loving man, make a big fool of yourself

Honey, you just go on to Jackson, why don't you go comb your hair

I'm gonna snowball Jackson, oh, see if I care.



Hmm, I breeze into that city, all them people gonna stoop and bow

And them Jackson women gonna make me teach 'em what they don't know now

I'm goin' to Jackson, get your brother hands off of my coat

I'm headed to Jackson, well, goodbye that's all she wrote.



When they laugh at you in Jackson I'll be dancin' on the pony keg

When I'll lead you round town like a scalded hound

With your tail tucked between your legs

Go on to Jackson you big tall Texas man

I'll be waitin' right there in Jackson behind my Japan fan.



We got married in a fever hotter than a pepper sprout

We've been talking 'bout Jackson ever since the fire went out

We're goin' to Jackson and that's a fact

Yeah goin' to Jackson, ain't never comin' back...
