Jackson Songtext
von Gillian Welch & David Rawlings

Three, four
One, two, three, four

We got married in a fever
Hotter than a pepper sprout
And we′ve been talkin' about Jackson
Ever since the fire went out

I′m goin' to Jackson
Gonna mess around
Oh, yeah, I'm goin′ to Jackson
Look out Jackson town

Now honey, go on down to Jackson
Yeah, go ahead and wreck your health
Go and play your hand, you big-talking man
Make a big fool of yourself

Yeah, go on to Jackson
Go comb your hair!
I′m gonna snowball in Jackson
See if I care


Well, when I breeze into that city
The people gonna stoop and bow
And all them ladies gonna make me
Show 'em what they don′t know how

I'm goin′ to Jackson
You turnin' loose in my coat
Oh, yeah, I′m goin' to Jackson
"Goodbye," that's all she wrote

Here, honey, go on down to Jackson
And I′ll be dancin′ on a pony keg
Then they'll lead you downtown like a scared hound
With your tail between your legs

Yeah, go on to Jackson
You big-talking man
And I′ll be waitin' there in Jackson
Behind a Japan fan

Well, we got married in a fever
Hotter than a pepper sprout
We′ve been talkin' about Jackson
Ever since the fire went out


We′re going to Jackson
We're gonna mess around
Oh yeah, we're going to Jackson
Look out Jackson town
