Irma Jackson Lyrics - Tulare Dust: A Songwriters' Tribute To Merle Haggard - 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
