Lyrics Jackson (Live: January, 13, 1968) - Live - Johnny Cash

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
Yeah, 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
Make a big fool of yourself
You're goin' to Jackson
Go comb your hair!
Honey, I'm gonna snowball Jackson
See if I care

Well, when I breeze into that city
People gonna stoop and bow. (Hah!)
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
I'm going to Jackson
Goodbye, that's all she wrote

They'll laugh at you in Jackson
And I'll be dancin' on a Pony Keg
They'll lead you 'round town like a scalded hound
With your tail tucked between your legs
You're goin' to Jackson
You big-talkin' man
And I'll be waitin' in Jackson
Behind my Jaypan Fan

Well now, we got married in a fever
Hotter than a pepper Sprout
We've been talking 'bout Jackson
Ever since the fire went out
I'm going to Jackson
And that's a fact
Yeah, I'm going to Jackson
Ain't never comin' back

Well, we got married in a fever
Hotter than a pepper sprout'
