I believe this is about Ginger spending time alone in New York, like he also sings about on 'You Took The Sunshine From New York' on the same album ('Chutzpah!'). The Jackson Whites are mountainfolk from New York, who are obviously alone and cut off from society - something Ginger must enjoy after being on the road for a long time. He also lives in New York himself, so I just have an image of him looking out at the 'lights of Brooklyn' and thinking about the Jackson Whites.
