Lyrics:

  • We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout,
  • We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went out.
  • I'm goin' to Jackson, I'm gonna mess around,
  • Yeah, I'm goin' to Jackson,
  • Look out Jackson town.

  • Well, go on down to Jackson; go ahead and wreck your health.
  • Go play your hand you big-talkin' man, make a big fool of yourself,
  • You're goin' to Jackson; go comb your hair!
  • Honey, I'm gonna snowball Jackson.
  • See if I care.

  • When I breeze into that city, people gonna stoop and bow. (Hah!)
  • All them women gonna make me, teach 'em what they don't know how,
  • I'm goin' to Jackson, you turn-a loose-a my coat.
  • 'Cos I'm goin' to Jackson.
  • "Goodbye," that's all she wrote.

  • But they'll laugh at you in Jackson, and I'll be dancin' on a Pony Keg.
  • They'll lead you 'round town like a scalded hound,
  • With your tail tucked between your legs,
  • You're goin' to Jackson, you big-talkin' man.
  • And I'll be waitin' in Jackson, behind my Jaypan Fan,

  • Well now, we got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper Sprout,
  • We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went out.
  • I'm goin' to Jackson, and that's a fact.
  • Yeah, we're goin' to Jackson, ain't never comin' back.

  • Well, we got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout'
  • And we've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went...
