[C]We got married in a fever, hotter than a peppered sprout.

We’ve been talkin’ ‘bout Jackson [C7]ever since the fire went out.

I’m goin’ to [F]Jackson, I’m gonna mess a[C]round.

Yeah, I’m goin’ to [F]Jackson,

[G7]Look out Jackson [C]town.

[C]Well go on down to Jackson, go ahead and wreck your health.

Go play your hand you big-talkin’ man, make a [C7]big fool of yourself.

Yeah, go to [F]Jackson; go comb your [C]hair.

I’m gonna snowball [F]Jackson.

[G7]See if I [C]care.

[C]When I breeze into that city, people gonna stoop and bow. (Hah!)

All them women gonna make me [C7]teach ‘em what they don’t know how.

I’m going’ to [F]Jackson; you turn to loosen my [C]coat.

‘Cos I’m goin’ to [F]Jackson.

[G7] “Goodbye,” that’s all she [C]wrote.

[C]But they’ll laugh at you in Jackson, an’ I’ll be dancin’ on a pony keg.

They’ll lead you round town like a scalded hound with your [C7]tail tucked

between your legs.

Yeah, go to [F]Jackson, you big-talkin’ [C]man.

And I’ll be waitin’ in [F]Jackson,

[G7]Behind my Jaypan [C]fan.

[C]Well, we got married in a fever, hotter than a peppered sprout,

We’ve been tailkin’ ‘bout Jackson [C7]ever since the fire went out.

I’m goin’ to [F]Jackson, and that’s a [C]fact.

Yeah, we’re goin’ to [F]Jackson,

[G7]Ain’t never comin’ [C]back.
