Tonight at nine we get married
Friends all say it's a shame and disgrace
And you've loved every woman in Jackson
Baby, Jackson ain't a very big place
Tomorrow we'll go walkin'
We'll count each one with a tear on her face
Then I'll know just how many think I'm lucky
Baby, you know Jackson ain't a very big place
Yes, Jackson is a mighty small town
Where the gossips and rumors go 'round
But the gossips are the ones you turned down
Baby, Jackson ain't a very big town
Baby, Jackson ain't a very big town
