Skeeter Davis Lyrics
"Jackson"

(Billy Ed Wheeler - Gaby Rogers)

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, you 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
Yeah, yeah, go to Jackson (I'm goin' baby) but go comb your hair
I'm gonna snowball Jackson yeah go ahead and see if I care.

Oh, when I breeze into that city the people gonna stoop and bow
All them Jackson women they're gonna teach me what they don't know how
I'm goin' to Jackson I turn loose to my coat
Yeah, I'm goin' to Jackson goodbye that's all she wrote (bye bye baby.)

--- Instrumental ---

They'll be laughin' at you in Jackson and I'll be dancin' on the pony keg
They'll lead you round the town like a scalded hound
With your tail tucked between your legs
Yeah, yeah, go to Jackson you big talkin' man
And I'll be waitin' in Jackson behind my Japan fan.

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 goin' to Jackson that's a natural fact
Yeah, I'm goin' to Jackson ain't never comin' back.

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 goin' to Jackson that's a natural fact
Yeah, I'm goin' to Jackson ain't never comin' back.

Yeah, 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 goin' to Jackson that's a natural fact
Yeah, I'm goin' to Jackson ain't never comin' back...
