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
