Irma Jackson — текст песни (Merle Haggard)

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 colour 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 Idie

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 Idie
