Lyrics

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 1]

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

Yeah, go to Jackson

Go comb your hair

Honey, I'm gonna snowball Jackson

See if I care

[Verse 2]

When I breeze into that city

People gonna stoop and bow

Ha

All them women gonna make me

Teach 'em what they don't know how

I'm goin' to Jackson

You turn a-loose o' my coat

'Cause I'm goin' to Jackson

"Goodbye" that's all she wrote

[Verse 3]

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 scalded hound

With your tail tucked between your legs

Yeah, go to Jackson

You big-talkin' man

And I'll be waitin' in Jackson

Behind my Japan fan

[Chorus]

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

I'm goin' to Jackson

And that's a fact

Yeah, we're going to Jackson

Ain't never coming back

[Outro]

(Mmm) Well, we got married in a fever

(Mmm-mmm-hmm-mmm) Hotter than a pepper sprout

Honey, we've been talkin' 'bout Jackson (Mmm)

Ever since the fire went
