Tommy Cash - Irma Jackson Lyrics

I'd love to shout my feelings from a mountain high

To tell the world I love her and I will till I die

But we're livin' in a world that don't know love is colorblind

And that's why Irma Jackson can't be mine

I remember no one cared about us being 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

That tells me Irma Jackson can't be mine

If lovin' Irma Jackson is a sin then I don't understand this crazy world we're livin' in

There's a mighty wall between us standing high but I'll love Irma Jackson till I die

[ dobro ]

She tells me she's decided that she'll go away

I guess it's right that 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

Yes lovin' Irma Jackson is a sin...

I'll love Irma Jackson till I die
