Irma Jackson

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
