We got married in a fever hotter than a pepper sprout
We've been talking 'bout Jackson ever since the fire went out
I'm going to Jackson, gonna mess around
yeah, I'm going to Jackson, look out Jackson town
Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug.
Make you want to holler, hi-de-ho!
Burns your tummy, dont'cha know.
Chug-A-lug, chug-A-lug.
Don't know when I've been so blue
Don't know what's come over you
You've found someone new
And don't it make my brown eyes, don't it make my brown eyes
Don't it make my brown eyes blue.
Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man
We get together every time we can
The Mississippi River can't keep us apart
There's too much love in this Mississippi heart
Too much love in this Louisiana heart
There's too much love in this Mississippi heart
Too much love in this Louisiana heart
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden.
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little
rain, sometimes.
When you take you got to give, so, live and let
live, or let go whoa whoa whoa whoa
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden.
I know you loved him, a long time ago
Even now in my arms, you still want him I know
But Darlin' this time, let your memories die
When you hold me tonight, don't close your eyes
In a pawn shop in Chicago
on a sunny sumer day
A couple gazes at the wedding
rings there on display
She smiles and nods her head
as he says Honey that's for you.
It's not much but it's the
best that I can do.
Golden Ring
With one tiny little stone
Waiting there
for someone to take it home
By itself
it's just a cold metalic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring.
