[Chorus]
We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout
We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went out
I'm goin' to Jackson, I'm gonna mess around
Yeah, I'm goin' to Jackson
Look out, Jackson town

[Verse 1]
Well, go on down to Jackson; go ahead and wreck your health
Go play your hand, you big-talkin' man, and make a big fool of yourself
We're going to Jackson; go comb your hair
Honey, I'm gonna snowball Jackson
See if I care

[Verse 2]
When I breeze into that city, people gonna stoop and bow
All them women gonna make me teach 'em what they don't know how
I'm goin' to Jackson, you turn-a loose-a my coat
'Cos I'm goin' to Jackson
'Goodbye,' that's all she wrote

[Verse 3]
But they'll laugh at you in Jackson, and I'll be dancin' on a pony keg
They'll lead you 'round town like a scalded hound
With your tail tucked between your legs
You're going to Jackson, you big-talkin' man
And I'll be waitin' in Jackson, behind my Jaypan fan

[Chorus]
Well now, we got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout
We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went
We're goin' to Jackson, and that's a fact
We're goin' to Jackson, ain't never comin' back

[Outro]
We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout
And we've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went
Ever since the fire went
Ever since the fire went

Florence + the Machine is an English alternative band, co-founded by front-woman, Florence Welch, and keyboardist and producer, Isabella Summers. The band is managed by Mairead Nash who also managed the original duo, known at the time as ‘Florence Robot/Isa Machine’, after Florence Welch sang Etta James‘ “Something’s Got A Hold On Me” to her in a club bathroom in December 2006.

The band first found fame in their native UK. Their debut album, Lungs (2009), went Gold within the first week of release, Platinum in less than 6 months and 4x Platinum in just over a year. They broke into the USA market after an elaborate performance of “Dog Days Are Over” at the 2010 VMA’s.

Their sophomore album, Ceremonials (2011), debuted at #1 on the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand charts. The band embarked on their second arena-based tour, the Ceremonials Tour. Most dates completely sold out.
