\begin{verse}
\[C]We got married in a fever
Hotter than a pepper sprout
We've been talkin' about Jackson
Ever since the fire went \[C7]out
\end{verse}
\begin{chorus}
``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''
\end{chorus}
\begin{verse}
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
\end{verse}
\begin{chorus}
Yeah, go to Jackson
Go comb your hair!
``Honey, I'm gonna snowball Jackson
--- See if I care''
\end{chorus}
\begin{verse}
When I breeze into that city
People gonna stoop and bow \echo{Ah!}
All them women gonna make me
Teach 'em what they don't know how
\end{verse}
\begin{chorus}
I'm goin' to Jackson
You turn-a loose-a my coat
'Cause I'm goin' to Jackson
``Goodbye'' that's all she wrote
\end{chorus}
\begin{verse}
But they'll laugh at you in Jackson
And I'll be dancin' on a pony keg
They'll lead you 'round town like a scolded hound
With your tail tucked between your legs
\end{verse}
\begin{chorus}
Yeah, go to Jackson
You big-talkin' man
And I'll be waitin' in Jackson
Behind my japan fan
\end{chorus}
\begin{verse}
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
\end{verse}
\begin{chorus}
I'm goin' to Jackson
And that's a fact
Yeah, we're goin' to Jackson
Ain't never comin' back
\end{chorus}
