Tonight at nine we get married friends all say it's a shame and disgrace

That he's loved every woman in Jackson but Jackson ain't a very big place

Tomorrow we'll go walking I'll 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

Yes Jackson is a mighty small town where gossips and rumors go round

But the gossips are the ones he turned down and Jackson ain't a very big town

[ steel ]

Yes Jackson is a mighty small town...
