Headin' south on the Macon trail Kickin' dust inside some county jail Her mama said "Hey Jackie you be good" 'Cause she knew that she would be misunderstood.
*chorus* Oh Sweet Virginia No, you never knew her name She tried to win ya But you never played the game Her name was Jackie Brown She cried when they told her Old sweet Virginia town You know it's not over
The jokers laughed and cried "Hey Jackie, what's your game" I got the time you got the money she explained but time was one thing now that Jackie couldn't spend So she made it while she could right to the end
