When you come to West Jackson and don't find me there
Ah, you come to West Jackson and don't find me there
You can bet your bottom dollar that I'm walkin' that road somewhere
I went up the country, baby, just to work in the yard
Ah, up the country, baby, to work in the yard
I had to come back to West Jackson, said the times up there's too hard
Lemme tell you one thing, man, what you sure can do
Ah, gon' tell you one thing, what you sure can do
You can stay in West Jackson, man, work and take care of you
Oh, fiddle it, mister fiddler
ย
I got a girl in West Jackson, lightnin's when she smiles
Ah, a girl in West Jackson, lightnin's when she smiles
She five foot and six inches now, just good lovin' size
I'd rather be in West Jackson, any place I know
Ah, be in West Jackson, any place I know
It will take that cheap man, sister, make me go
