[English]

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 going to Jackson
I'm going to mess around
Yeah, I'm going to Jackson
Look out Jackson town
We'll 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, go to Jackson
Go comb your hair
Honey, I'm going to slow ball Jackson
See if I care
When I breeze into that city
People gonna stoop and bow
All them women gonna make me
Teach em' what they don't know how
I'm going to Jackson
You turn and loosen my coat
Cause I'm going to Jackson
Goodbye that's all she wrote
And they'll laugh at you in Jackson
And I'll be dancing on a pony king
They'll lead you around town like a scolded hound
With your tail hung between your legs
Yeah, go to Jackson
You big talkin' man
And I'll be waiting in Jackson
Behind my japan fan
Well now, we got married in a fever
Hotter than a pepper sprout
We've been talkin' about Jackson
Ever since the fire went out
I'm going to Jackson
And that's a fact
Yeah, we're going to Jackson
Ain't never coming back
We got married in a fever
Hotter than a pepper sprout
Honey we've been talking about Jackson
