Verse 1: Both, 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 going to Jackson, I'm gonna mess around

Yeah, I'm goin' to Jackson

Look out, Jackson town

Verse 2: June Carter & Johnny Cash

Well, 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 gonna snowball Jackson

See if I care

Verse 3: Johnny Cash & June Carter

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

'Cause I'm goin' to Jackson

"Goodbye", that's all she wrote

Verse 4: June Carter

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 scolded 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

Verse 5: Both

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 goin' to Jackson

Ain't never comin' back

Outro: Johnny Cash, Both

Well, we got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout

Honey, we've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went
