Tonight at nine, we get married
My friends all say it's a shame and disgrace
That he's loved every woman in Jackson
Oh, but Jackson ain't a very big place

Tomorrow, we'll go walkin'
I count each one with a tear on her face
Then I'll know just how many think I'm lucky
'Cause Jackson ain't a very big place

Jackson is a mighty small town
Where the gossip and the rumors go round
But the gossips are the ones he turned down
And Jackson ain't a very big town

Jackson is a mighty small town
Where the gossip and the rumors go round
But the gossips are the ones he turned down
And Jackson ain't a very big town
