Jackson
by Lee Hazlewood

BOTH: We got married in a fever hotter than a pepper
sprout
We been talkin bout Jackson
JOHNNY: Ever since the fire went out
Im goin to Jackson, Im gonna mess around
Yeah, Im goin to Jackson, look out Jackson town

JUNE: 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
Yeah, yeah, go to Jackson, but go comb that hair
JOHNNY: Im gonna snowball Jackson
JUNE: Go ahead and see if I care

JOHNNY: When I breeze inta that city, the people gonna stoop
and bow
All them women gonna make me teach em what they dont know
how
Im goin to Jackson, ya turn-a loose-a my coat
cause Im goin to Jackson
JUNE: Goodbye, thats all she wrote

JUNE: Theyll laugh at you in Jackson
And Ill be dancin on a pony keg
Theyll lead you round that town like a scalded hound
With your tail tucked between your legs
Yeah, yeah, yeah, go to Jackson, you big-talkin man
And Ill be waitin there in Jackson behind my Japan fan

BOTH: We got married in a fever hotter than a pepper
sprout
We been talkin bout Jackson ever since the fire went
ou-ou-out
Go to Jackson and thats a natural fact
Were goin to Jackson, aint never comin back

BOTH: We got married in a fever hotter than a pepper
sprout
FADE
We been talkin bout Jackson
