Lyrics

Now when I left out of jackson
My baby was standin' in her do'
Now when I left out of jackson
I rode that *m&o

Now, my baby like the chevrolet
But I believe I'll buy a v8 fo'
She say, 'is he too fast
To try to hold in the road?'

Well, I'm goin' back to jackson
Good old jackson, tennessee
I can't do no good up here
I've gotten the jinx on me

(Harmonica & guitar)

A-yon' come my baby
I can tell by the way she walk
I wouldn't know her so well
But I can tell by the way she talks

Oh, now tell me baby
Sweet, now wha'cha want me to do?
You think that I can love you
And be yo' little doggie?

(Harmonica and guitar)

Well, mother told me, an' told me
My father he sat down an' cried
She say, 'you too young-a-man, son
To have them many women on yo' side
