Lyrics She Gave Her Heart to Jethro - Bobby Bare

She Gave Her Heart to Jethro

You know old Jethro he went crazy
Course we’ve all been crazy some time
They fixed up his lungs and his fever
But they couldn’t fix up his mind
He had married a beautiful redhead
Of women they say she’s a pearl
She gave her heart to Jethro
And her body to the whole damn world
Now Jethro he had someone he could talk to
There were monsters and little green men
He never talked much to his woman
He just spent all his time with his friends
In the evenings she’d drive off and leave him
She’d toss back her long pretty curls
She gave her heart to Jethro
And her body to the whole damn world
Her friends all begged her to leave him
They said Jethro he belongs in a home
She said my heart is Jethro’s
But my God given body, that’s my own
Now some of her lovers were strangers
She gave everybody a whirl
She gave her heart to Jethro
And her body to the whole damn world
She gave her heart to old Jethro
And her body to the whole damn world
