Jackson

(album: Nancy & Lee - 1968)

[BOTH:] We got married in a fever hotter than a pepper sprout
We been talking 'bout Jackson
[JOHNNY:] Ever since the fire went out
I'm going to Jackson, I'm gonna mess around (yeah?)
Yeah, I'm going to Jackson, look out Jackson town

[JUNE:] Well, go on down to Jackson, go ahead and wreck your health (hmm)
Go play your hand, you big-talking man, make a big fool of yourself
Yeah, yeah, go to Jackson, but go comb that hair
[JOHNNY:] I'm gonna snowball Jackson
[JUNE:] Go ahead and see if I care

[JOHNNY:] When I breeze inta that city, the people gonna stoop and bow (ha ha)
All them women gonna make me teach 'em what they don't know how
I'm going to Jackson, ya turn-a loose-a my coat
'cause I'm going to Jackson
[JUNE:] Goodbye, that's all she wrote

[JUNE:] They'll laugh at you in Jackson (I doubt it)
And I'll be dancing on a pony keg
They'll lead you 'round that town like a scalded hound
With your tail tucked between your legs
Yeah, yeah, yeah, go to Jackson, you big-talking man
And I'll be waiting there in Jackson behind my *Japan* fan

[BOTH:] We got married in a fever hotter than a pepper sprout
We been talking 'bout Jackson ever since the fire went ou-ou-out
Go to Jackson and that's a natural fact
We're going to Jackson, ain't never coming back

[BOTH:] We got married in a fever hotter than a pepper sprout
[FADE]
