With tearful eyes I said my goodbyes <br />To Aunt and Uncle, many years ago. <br />Their home was Jackson Tennessee <br />Where Pearl River waters floweth free. <br />Elvis~ a friendly potentate <br />Was their 'Rock-a-Billy' man so great, <br />Now, in mid August of each year <br />The constellation of Jackson churches <br />Pay homage to that name so dear.<br /><br />Joyce Hemsley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-place-called-jackson/
