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
