Irma Jackson Songtext
von Merle Haggard and The Strangers

I′d love to shout my feelin's from a mountain high
Tell the world I love her and I will ′till I die
There's no way the world will understand that love is color blind
That's why Irma Jackson can′t be mine

I remember when no one cared about us bein′ friends
We were only children and it really didn't matter then
But we grew up too quickly in a world that draws a line
Where they say Irma Jackson can′t be mine


If my lovin' Irma Jackson is a sin
Then I don′t understand this crazy world we're livin′ in
There's a muddy wall between us standin' high
But I′ll love Irma Jackson ′till I die

She tells me she's decided that she′ll go away
And I guess it's right, but she alone should have the final say
But in spite of her decision forcin′ us to say goodbye
I'll still love Irma Jackson ′till I die

If my lovin' Irma Jackson is a sin
Then I don't understand this crazy world we′re livin′ in
It's a muddy wall between us standin′ high
But I'll love Irma Jackson ′till I die
