I'm staying in Jackson, I ain't gonna go
I find it in Jackson a little darling doll of a soul
Mm, mm-mm, I ain't leaving Jackson, 'less she comes along
I find it that Jackson could be the place where I will belong
My boss had told me I could have a better job in the city
But here in Jackson life is grooving, the party is pretty
Lots of guys would like to have a girl like mine
But I'll be still around it for a long, long time
I'm staying in Jackson, I ain't gonna go
I find it in Jackson a little darling doll of a soul
Mm, mm-mm, I'm sticking in Jackson, come win or come lose
In Jackson most every man, he would like to walk in my shoes
The folks down here take a long time to call me a friend
But I don't mind 'cause every road takes a turn in the end
Lots of guys would like to have a girl like mine
But I'll be still around it for a long, long time
I'm staying in Jackson, I ain't gonna go
I find it in Jackson a little darling doll of a soul
Mm, mm-mm, I ain't leaving Jackson, 'less she comes along
I find it that Jackson could be the place where I will belong
My, my-my-my-my, I'm staying in Jackson, I ain't gonna go
Mmm, na na na na na na na na na
Oh, na na na na na
