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
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 and make a big fool of yourself
You go on to Jackson go comb your hair
Yeah I'm gonna snowball Jackson see if I care

Well now when I breeze into that city people gonna stoop and bow
All those girls gonna make me show 'em what they don't know how
I'm goin' to Jackson you turn loose my coat
I'm goin' to Jackson goodbye that's all she wrote

When they laugh at you in Jackson and I'll be dancin' on the pony keg
Well I'll lead you round town like a scalded hound
With your tail tucked between your legs
You go to Jackson you big talkin' man
And I'll be waitin' in Jackson behind my Japan fan

Oh we got married in a fever hotter than a pepper sprout
We've been talkin' bout Jackson ever since the fire went out
We're goin' to Jackson and that's a fact
We're goin' to Jackson ain't never comin' back
We got married in a fever
