Jackson

[Johnny & June:]
We got married in a fever,
Hotter than a pepper sprout.
We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson,
[Johnny:]
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.

[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, go to Jackson,
Go comb your hair!
[Johnny:]
Honey, I'm gonna snowball Jackson.
[June:]
See if I care.

[Johnny:]
When I breeze into that city,
People gonna stoop and bow.
[June:]
(Hah!)
[Johnny:]
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.
'Cause I'm goin' to Jackson.
[June:]
Goodbye, that's all she wrote.

But they'll laugh at you in Jackson,
And I'll be dancin' on a pony keg [3] .
They'll lead you 'round town like a scalded hound,
With your tail tucked between your legs,

Yeah, go to Jackson,

You big-talkin' man.
And I'll be waitin' in Jackson,
Behind my Jaypan plan. [4]

[Johnny & June:]
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.

[June: hums.]
[Johnny:]
Yeah, we got married in a fever,
Hotter than a pepper sprout.
[Fade.]
Honey, we've been talkin' 'bout Jackson...
