Johnny

June

June
But they'll | [C] laugh at | you in | Jackson, | [C]
and | [C] I'll be dancin' | on a pony | keg | [C]
They'll | [C] lead you ' | round town like a | scalded | hound,
with your | [C7] tail tucked be- | tween your | legs, |
Yeah, go to | [F] Jackson, | [F]
| [F] You big- | talkin' | [C] man | [C]
And | [C] I'll be waitin' in | [F] Jackson, | [F]
